Corpus Christi,
Texas, is a small
city with a surprising number of
chain and franchise
restaurants. Our
two features show
how these operators are faring as
independents. And
while the area is
largely comprised
of tourists during the warmer
months, keeping up
with locals is critical during off-peak
times.

Shrimp is that
luxury topping
that pairs well on
a pizza, in many
ways turning any
pizza into a day at
the beach.

Future sales are
on the outside
looking in. You
have a window of
opportunity to get
them through that
door. Learn how
to best utilize this
opportunity to get
customers to look
in and come in
your store.

Our 2015 awards include:
* Best Single Issue, August 2014 by Jeremy White, Mandy
Detwiler, Rick Daugherty, Josh Keown and Denise Greer:
NINTH PLACE
* Best Use of Social Media - Jeremy White, Mandy Detwiler,
Josh Keown, Rick Daugherty and Denise Greer: GOLD AWARD

What surprised me
about the strip mall
story participants was
that they each choose
to stay in their strip
mall locations. They
know how to think outside the box, i.e. the
strip mall environment,
to increase customer
loyalty and succeed
no matter the physical
location. They have
unique insights from
which everyone can
learn, but what they
all have in common is
flexibility and positive
attitudes to make their
businesses work.
