“CStore Decisions’ Chain of the Year Award honors operational excellence, innovation and future-focused direction,” said Erin Del Conte, editor-in chief of CStore Decisions. “Toot’n’ Totum has earned its place on an elite list as the 37th winner of the award, which is the oldest and most prestigious honor in convenience retailing. Toot’n Totum stands out for its values-based and people-first culture; it’s commitment to tech innovation and vertical integration; its strong proprietary foodservice, grab-and-go and commissary program; and its state-of-the-art new-to-industry (NTI) stores and commitment to continued internal growth and footprint expansion.”
