Plaza andMakoti C-Stores

To provide convenience to customers, these stores need a convenient

communications provider

Plaza C-Store

Located at 4165 64th Ave NW, the

16,000-sqaure-foot Plaza C-Store first

opened its doors in 2013. It sells snacks,

fast food, pizza, and deli sandwiches along

with some groceries including fresh produce,

pet foods, and automotive and hardware

items. In addition, the Plaza C-Store offers

vehicle maintenance services in its shop such

as oil changes and tires as well as the sale

of fuel, bulk fuels, and propane.

The staff includes eight employees in

the store, two in the shop (including the

Propane & Fuel Driver), and two in the

office, all overseen by Wold. The Plaza

C-Store is currently open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and 11:30 a.m.

to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

To help keep it connected and running

efficiently, the Plaza C-Store uses 100 Mbps

x 100 Mbps internet, multiple phone lines,

and TV service from RTC.

C-Store Manager Jacque Pratt says, “The

RTC Telephone and Internet services are

critical as we use both to conduct every

aspect of our business, from credit card

sales to customer service over the phone

to online research of automotive parts.

All of our customer data is recorded via

Wi-Fi, so again, it’s very crucial. For exam-

ple, I have customer counters at each door

that record customer traffic patterns.”

The Plaza and Makoti C-Stores are owned and operated by Farmers Union Oil Company of Plaza. General

Manager Joel Wold notes, “While Farmers Union Oil Company of Plaza is in the petroleum wholesale business,

our C-Stores concentrate on meeting the needs of retail customers, both local residents and travelers.”

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

“I can count on

RTC to always be

professional and courteous

and respond to our calls in

a timely manner.”
