Let’s improve store operations to grow profitability.

Convenience store family chains improve operations with retail data analytics. Sell more, reduce shrink, help your staff develop new skills, and save management time by having simple, delivered analysis.

About Us

Our clients hire us so they can focus on operational improvement. To do this, they leverage our tools for growth, control, and tobacco.

Like many of our C-Store customers, BandyWorks is family owned. Our simple, delivered information tell the story to store mangers, supervisors and retail operations leaders. It means they can take action immediately. Your team knows how to deliver convenience. Staffing, vendors and the chaotic daily work load make it hard to see which items need attention. Our reliable, brief and sales-driven assessments make it easy to see where problems are and show the facts to resolve them quickly. The whole team is on the same page and aligned  to make the stores better.

We worked inside c-stores to understand the challenges of operations – hiring, developing, cleaning, stocking, serving, and complying. The skills needed are many and the candidates few. It is easy to overwhelm store staff as well as the area managers and directors who are responsible to keep stores open, staffed and thriving.

Understanding data is necessary and needed to simplify the job. We do the retail analytics that make c-store growth, control, and tobacco easy. Our managed services do the technology work and our consultants address the issues that only large organizations can provide in-house. Our online education and workshops provide a path for staff and manager development.

C-Store Leadership Keys: Finding Your Place, Building Your People

Rhonda Nichols lives the profession of life of practicing c-store leadership keys every day. She didn’t follow the traditional cashier-to-manager path that many convenience store leaders take. Her journey into the world of convenience began early and unconventionally. She has carved out a unique leadership style rooted in experience, expectation, and empowerment. Rhonda’s story starts in her teenage years, where she worked in a beauty school and eventually owned her own shop. “I was about 18, just out of school, I ran my own business, then moved into retail management, and eventually stumbled into convenience stores.” But this wasn’t her first brush with the industry. Her mother owned a store when Rhonda was younger, and that experience stuck with her. “I absolutely loved it. I liked the quick pace.”
