HOW TO HIT THE MILLION DOLLAR MARK
Your RS Action Plan Will Help Get Your Store There!
If you’re like most of our Members, one of your many goals is hitting the “Million Dollar Store” mark. That is a high goal to aspire to, but is reachable if you have an action plan and execute that plan. Unfortunately for many stores, that “action plan” has been missing.
Start making your plans now to participate in the RS Workshop March 23-24, 2019 in Santa Ana, CA. This conference has been developed for the sole purpose of helping you build a step-by-step plan to a Million Dollar Store. RS Associates is bringing together some of the industry’s top performers and suppliers, with over 100 years of combined experience to show you how to make your store a top performer. Additionally, get a special "Sneak Preview" of the NEW Store Model that will be officially revealed at the 2019 RS Expo in Dallas this summer.
