Market Coverage
There are tens of thousands of retailers and convenience stores of all makes, shapes and sizes
spread throughout the country. CMC prides itself on providing extremely effective coverage within the
markets it serves. We are very honest about which accounts we cover and how we cover them.
Also, we believe it is important to provide honest feedback to our manufacturers about product attributes,
pricing, packaging, etc. Sometimes, this requires us to deliver bad news. This feedback can benefit both the
manufacturer and CMC. Sometimes the changes that are made to the product make it more attractive in the
markets we service.
CMC prides itself on helping manufacturing businesses grow their revenues and profits by providing
unparalleled sales support efforts coupled with timely feedback from accounts.
Some key convenience store/retail accounts handled are E-Z Mart, Allsup's, 7-Eleven, Pilot, Huck's, Midwest
Petroleum, Speedy Stop and many others.
