Miller Zell

'Tis the season of giving! Working with The Pack Shack, the Bentonville office packed 4,212 meals in 1.5 hours for our neighbors in need. The Pack Shack started in 2013. Their mission is to increase awareness about food security issues, provide food and other items to local nonprofits, and encourage people to get involved with the local nonprofits that serve their neighbors.

The results are in! We're so proud and grateful to have raised over 100K this year for breast cancer and Alzheimer’s disease research. Miller Zell has been hosting our golf tournament since 2009, mostly in thanks to our sponsors and incredible associates who volunteer their time to bring this event to life. https://hubs.ly/Q02YKYL_0

One of our team, Adriana Velez, recently went on a #retailtour with the Retail Design Institute ATL | SE Chapter. Thanks for hosting! If you didn't get the chance to go, we're doing a short series highlighting each of the stores they visited! First up, the buttermilk pie started it all. Southern Baked Pie Company serves everything from savory and decadent sweet pies to cookbooks, instant pie crusts (gluten free option as well) and soy hand poured candles. They have specialty selections utilizing seasonal fresh fruit from local Georgia farmers and businesses. The storefront features two large merchandising windows filled with #seasonaldécor, kitchen and recipe ideas. It looks delicious and beautiful! #visualmerchandising #specialtyretail 

Rollouts aren’t robotic.🤖 They often include unexpected challenges but also offer unexpected opportunities for cost savings and value engineering. Here are three areas that are often overlooked⬇️ -Retail logistics platform: Better tracking means more efficient use of time and money. -Billing and procurement systems: A good set-up with processes for changes eliminates potential delays down the road. -Post-rollout evaluation: Measure the impact and success of the updates to learn where to go next. #retail #retailrollout 

Thanks for the love Event Marketer and Anna Huddleston!

In the past ~15 years, fuels and foodservice have become a much larger part of GDP (+10%) according to CSP Daily News. And what combines them the best?   C-stores.   Why has this happened? The rise in c-stores is fueled (pun intended ✨ ) by the demand for quick, accessible shopping with expanded offerings like fresh meals, digital convenience, and even EV charging stations. Their adaptability to urban lifestyles and consumer needs, including pandemic-driven shifts, has positioned them for continued growth. Is your c-store ready for the rise of electric vehicles? What about branding, marketing and retail opportunities with charging stations? So what does this mean for you? You need to make sure your c-stores are modern, open and easy to navigate. Gone are the days of sad, grey stations where customers just run in and out. We recommend using brand palette to brighten your spaces while also subconsciously reminding them how much they enjoy your store. For #cstores, design is only valuable when it’s precisely executed at scale. Find a team who has a track record of considering warehousing, #kitpacking processes and assembly methods and instructions before the project even starts. And finally, clean bathrooms, something we can also help with. 45% of consumers “would avoid [Gas Stations] if they encountered dirty restrooms” (Cleanlink) and “50% of people who encounter a dirty restroom would discuss it with friends and family.” (USA TODAY.) #cstoredesign

[insert Mariah Carey voice] It's tiiiime... for the annual holiday poll!❄️ With #primeday and #blackfriday just around the corner, it's question time! Every year we ask and every year you answer: "How do you shop for the holidays?" 🎁 By popular request, we have a new option. Holiday shopping time starts earlier every year and for some, by the time #peakseason gets underway, there's not a lot of extra shopping left! Are you one of those people? 🦃
