QuickChek is
a family-owned company, which operates 143 locations throughout New Jersey, New
York's Hudson Valley and Long Island, was named as the 2016 Convenience Store Chain of
the Year by industry trade magazine Convenience
Store Decisions.
QuickChek
Chief Executive Officer Dean Durling stated "Our mission is to be a 'Great
Place to Work, a Great Place to Shop, and a Great Place to Invest,….This is a
tremendous honor that reflects the hard work and dedication of more than 3,700
team members who take great pride in delivering total customer dedication each
and every day."
Founded in
1967, QuickChek is regarded as a leader in the industry in key areas such as
technology, foodservice, team engagement and innovation. However what makes QuickChek special is the
respect the company has for its employees.
The best example just might be leadership. Michael Murphy, senior vice president at QuickChek has offered to work Christmas Day for the past
40 years at a store so a manager (or in the early days an employee) could spend
time with family.
“I’ve always believed if I’m going to ask you to do
it, I should do it first,” said Michael Murphy, it’s that kind of solid
thoughtful leadership that has help drive top line sales and bottom line
profits at QuickChek. I know that QuickChek has raised its minimum
starting salary to $10 an hour and offers employees tuition
reimbursement but with all that comes respect for employees. That is top in my book.
Sure QuickChek is customer focused and they have launched
a mobile app allowing customers to use their smartphones to order, customize
and select a convenient pick-up time for items ordered off of its menu. When a company focuses on the customers with
contemporized relevance and retains employees there is no wonder how they
received such an honor.
