Dear Readers,

With August comes the tail third of the 2016 driving season and what a season it’s been for retailers, the lowest July gas prices in over a decade producing strong margins both outside and in.

As we approach September, our teams are diligently working on the finishing touches for Pinnacle Summit 2016.  This event gets bigger and better every year, and we have already exceeded last year’s registration numbers.  The agenda is full of great educational and best practice opportunities, and we have a strong lineup of general session content.  We look forward to hearing from our award winning keynote speaker, Shep Hyken, a New York Times Best Selling Author and speaker who has presented programs for Fortune 100 companies including American Airlines, Anheuser-Busch, American Express, and more.  What an event it will be, don’t miss out.

Look forward to seeing you next month in Frisco!  Have a great August.

Drew Mize
Pinnacle Corp., President
