Tenn.-based Weigel’s Farm Stores. Inc., may be famous for its dairy aisle, but Chairman Bill Weigel believes candy displays sweeten the cash register ring.
Bill Weigel knows that many gas stations are basically man caves, epitomized by their poorly lit sales floor, barely maintained bathrooms and their emphasis on beer and cigarettes.
Which is why Weigel, chairman and ceo of Weigel’s Farm Stores Inc., doesn’t like to call his chain of stores gas stations. And, he doesn’t really like the term “convenience store” for the same reason.
