Chicken or the Egg ??

Ever wonder why CARQUEST has so FEW Multi-store jobbers ( when compared to NAPA ).  Is it their resistance to have drop-ships ( in Canada we have almost zero ).  Or other factors that LIMIT economies of scale??

The multi-store jobbers that are here - have an issue -- how do we get our voice heard for things like ... well ... this is an EXPLORIS blog after all ....   like Multi-store functions for Exploris.

Like so many other things in corporate America --the problems come down to the dollars and who gets them ... and we don't have a very storing voice.

If you are Multi-store  - make your voice heard -- or we will never get the computer system we where promised.

The ask yourself -- could CARQUEST become a better group if they had MORE MULTI-STORE groups?   What do multi-store owners bring to the table that helps all?   And we get a Chicken or the Egg issue - any thoughts....
