Industry 101

There is definitely more to this industry than meets the naked eye.

Retailing

Although many of the retail venues that you see are managed by small business owners they are only one component of a highly integrated multi-billion dollar industry.

Did you know that:

  • The US retail industry is a $4 trillion business, of which $200 billion is produced by locally based and focused convenience stores?
  • The skills and knowledge you gain working in a retail operation are 100% transferable to another retail concern, part of the country, or world?
  • You can advance into the highest management levels without a college degree? A degree never hurts but everyone starts with learning and experiencing the basics of running a consumer-facing business.

Fuels Industry

  • There is much more to proving reliable energy that pushing a pipe into the ground. Learn how one company is using two cutting edge technologies – coal gasification and the “froth treatment” – to supply the world’s needs.
  • Large oil companies expenses are just one small component of the price you pay at the pump.

Our objective with this section of the site is to present information that expands your understanding of the facts and directions of this industry.
