Entry Essay: 
CSP Daily News covers the full breadth of the convenience-store industry, from independent retailers to the country's largest chains. The publication serves retailers, suppliers, industry consultants and others, as well as those in allied industries looking for a competitive edge.

Noticing a lack of women in the convenience-store industry, CSP Daily News launched its own C-Store Women's event to elevate women in the segment and help create a pipeline of future leaders. The gathering has become an annual event, with groups meeting throughout the year for networking and mentorship.

CSP's coverage reflects the vibrancy of the event and its relevance and importance in the convenience-store industry.

This story explores the gap in female leaders in c-stores and why it is crucial to change that, while providing tactics retailers can take in their own operations.
