Husky and BJE: Now Available at a Store Near You

The fight for space at retail stores is intense. There is really good reason for that. There's only so much room for a seemingly unlimited number of products clamoring for a slice of that territory. But above all else retailers want to provide their customers with a selection of quality products they want to buy.

That's why Husky Corporation is seeking to help retailers offer the company's industry leading fuel nozzles and related equipment, along with BJE fluid inventory management products inside their stores. Recently Husky developed planograms to help stores display the latest innovations and top-selling products at farm, fleet and agricultural stores.

The Husky products are displayed by size, fuel type and include a complete description showcasing the proper application each item. Customers can visually inspect the products without disturbing the packaging to get an up-close look at the quality of each item. BJE products allow fleet managers and farmers to replace measuring sticks with easy-to-use proven technology for monitoring multiple tanks holding a variety of fluids.

Through this program, retail customers will have access to innovations that were previously never available outside of the standard petroleum distribution sales channel. Retailers looking to tap into an innovative way to better serve farm, fleet and commercial customers can contact Husky to learn more at 800-325-3558.

Convenience is Big Business

Frank Lloyd Wright is one of America's most famous architects. He designed a number of spectacular buildings including New York's Guggenheim Museum and Tokyo's Imperial Hotel. But another of Wright's less famous designs was a gas station that was supposed to be built Buffalo. NACS online describes Wright's vision of a two-story building with wood-burning fireplaces, deluxe bathrooms and a living room enclosed by glass. The Buffalo gas station was never built. But you can find a version of it in Cloquet, Minnesota.

Even though Wright's 1927 vision never came to reality on a grand scale, the convenience store industry, which traces its origins to that same year, has grown to make a huge impact on the economy. Convenience stores numbered more than 151,000 in the United States at the start of 2014 according to the National Association of Convenience Stores. And 84 percent of them sell motor fuel. NACS estimates convenience store retailers dispense about 80 percent of the motor fuel sold in the U.S.

Keeping the Fuel Flowing

Husky Corporation has been growing along with the convenience store industry since the company started in 1947. The company offers a variety of conventional fuel nozzles and dispensing products for full service outlets, self service gas stations and convenience stories. The Husky family of nozzles is engineered to meet the demands of the constantly evolving convenience store industry.

For example the Husky X automatic shut-off nozzle is equipped with a unique Flo-Stop device that shuts the nozzle off should it fall out of the fill tank. The Streamshaper reduces turbulence for straighter fuel flow while reducing the amount of splash-back spillage. Husky XS nozzle adds pressure activated features so the nozzle shuts off when the pump shuts off, when the tank is full, if the lever is opened before the pump is turned on or if the leak detector has not completed its test cycle.

Quality, safety and customer loyalty are key pillars for success at Husky Corporation. We thank our many customers in the convenience store business and will strive to retain that loyalty by providing new and innovative products to meet the needs of this important industry.
