Promotions work very well to en<strong>co</strong>urage extra spend and dealer, Junaid Randeree<br />
plans on using social media to draw back old customers to the new <strong>look</strong> <strong>store</strong>.<br />
In 2010/2011, the site won the Engen award <strong>for</strong> best service. Team building through cycling<br />
and personal growth and development are important to staff and dealer at Go Go Convenience<br />
Centre.<br />
The <strong>for</strong>e<strong>co</strong>urt was also fitted with stateof-the-art<br />
tanks, pumps and equipment.<br />
Serving trucks used to always be a challenge<br />
but the new raised <strong>for</strong>e<strong>co</strong>urt canopy ensures<br />
that trucks can drive in without any issues.<br />
Convenience is still key<br />
Randeree says the C-<strong>store</strong> is very popular<br />
with motorists stopping on their way to and<br />
from home to pick up their daily essentials.<br />
He says the peak periods are between 6.30<br />
– 9.30am and 5 – 8.30pm.<br />
Residents from the nearby duplexes and<br />
flats also often visit the site. Top selling<br />
items are bread, cigarettes, buddy <strong>co</strong>ld<br />
drinks and Red Bull. Airtime and prepaid<br />
electricity are sold to provide maximum<br />
<strong>co</strong>nvenience to customers. “Airtime sells<br />
well but it <strong>co</strong>ntributes very little towards<br />
the profitability of the business due to<br />
extremely low margins,” he says. Lotto is<br />
not offered as it causes <strong>co</strong>ngestion in the<br />
parking lot and C-<strong>store</strong> when the Lotto<br />
queue builds up in peak periods.<br />
