ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Metro Market is a unique urban convenience store and restaurant, both in its design and offer in downtown Augusta, Georgia. The store embraces the historical aspects of an old building with a modern offer, with the design and concept of being a place to hang out, study or host social and business events—and it generates a lot of foot traffic with crowds of professional golf fans visiting Augusta this week.

You don’t have to have tickets to one of golf’s showcase events to check out a bit of Augusta. NACS is kicking off its review of the 2016 Ideas 2 Go video series with a focus on Metro Market.

The fast-paced Ideas 2 Go program features emerging concepts that redefine convenience, as well as quick takeaways that retailers could easily implement at their own stores. Since 1994, Ideas 2 Go has provided a video tour of some of the most interesting, creative and potentially profitable ideas in the convenience and fuel retailing industry. More than 150 other videos are featured on the Ideas 2 Go microsite, and each month NACS Magazine’s Ideas 2 Go column features other innovative retail ideas and concepts.

“What makes Ideas 2 Go so special is that retailers welcome us to their stores to share some of their best ideas and offer the strategies and planning behind their success. It gives retailers a unique perspective of the industry without having to hit the road,” said NACS Vice President of Strategic Industry Initiatives Jeff Lenard.

Every two weeks, a new video from the 2016 program will be featured in NACS Daily. In addition to the nine Ideas 2 Go segments, four short “Ideas 2 Grow” segments examine unique innovations in retail.

Filming starts this month for the 2017 Ideas 2 Go video, and the complete 50-minute program will debut on October 19 at the NACS Show. If you would like to recommend a store for the team to consider on its journeys, contact Lenard at jlenard@convenience.org.
