Time to be Thankful
As Thanksgiving is upon us, cannot stop thinking about how thankful I am for this year. Let me think about that for a mi-nute? A wonderful virus such as COVID-19 has created the largest pandemic since the 1918 Influenza. An election pro-cess that was so screwed up beyond anything our country has had to stomach. Yeah, looking back at 2020, the only thing we can be thankful for is 2021. We can only hope! MSSA members continue making a difference within our communities. MSSA members as Minnoco Dealers have raised more than $57,000 for Hope Chest for Breast Cancer in the past five years. No matter who you are, the name of your store, MSSA members are entrenched within their communi-ties. Locally owned and operated, making each one of our members even more important to their communities. Hard to believe this November, officially I have sixteen years in the books as your Executive Director. Some trying days, but most are fulfilling and rewarding. A majority of us spend this Thanksgiving watching football and stuffing ourselves, don’t forget about our troops serving our country near and far away from their families and be thankful for what you have and not focus on what you do not have. Thanksgiving is also a time to reflect on the ones you have lost and remember the great times and holiday events you shared with them. This Thanksgiving, my family is thankful we have you as MSSA members as part of our family! Thanks for a great sixteen years and looking forward to many more great years!

Gas Stations Eye an EV Future
Convenience retailers and EV charging providers shared practical advice for the market in a Crack the Code Panel.
By Keith Reid ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Electric vehicle fast charging: “Why now? Why not now?” That point was made by Brad Petersen, director of retail fuels at Kum & Go, a retail chain with more than 500 stores in 11 Midwestern states. “Yes, the new EV sales are not drastic in numbers—less that 2% of the vehicle fleet—but we know it’s coming, and we want to be prepared for it and offer fuel to all of our customers, whether that be gas or charging.” Petersen was speaking at the NACS Crack the Code Experience session: How to Succeed in the EV Market, pre-sented Tuesday and available in an encore session today at 11:30 a.m. EST, and on demand starting tomorrow. The well-rounded panel featured representatives from Future Fuel Strategies, National Car Charging LLC, Smart Electric Power Alliance and EVgo, in addition to Kum & Go. As covered in the session, there are three basic EV charging options. The first involves an electric vehicle manu-facturer such as Tesla establishing a charging network to support vehicle sales. The second involves an independ-ent third party, such as EVgo, that will essentially partner with a retailer through a rental agreement (or with a municipality or commercial fleet) to support its charging network. The third model involves retailers working with a company like National Car Charging to set up and operate their own charging infrastructure. Supporting a third-party network is painless to the retailer, but the retailer ends up giving away control in such areas as pricing, which can conflict with retailer goals. At the same time, the third party assumes the bulk of the risk, as well as most of the headaches with adding EV charging, in exchange for that loss of control. The charging technology of choice, at least in retail applications, is DC fast charging. These chargers dramatically reduce the amount of time required to give a vehicle a decent charge to get back on the road. The panelists noted that the ideal site focuses on having a charging experience as close to liquid fuels as possible, while also provid-ing opportunities for the customer to take advantage of store profit centers. The inside sales opportunities ramp up with charging times that, while getting shorter all the time, are still longer than those for the average fuel customer. Working with a utility is also a partnership with EV charging. The panel offered a range of “dos and don’ts” and made it clear that each utility will likely have a slightly different relationship than the next. It was noted during the discussion that it can cost eight times as much to do an EV retrofit as it does with new construction. With that in mind, even retailers that are not ready to pull the trigger immediately should be making these considerations with new site construction so that adding EV charging will be relatively painless when the decision to proceed is made. The NACS Crack the Code Experience runs through December 4, 2020 and features 24/7 access to forward-looking ideas and insights, plus innovative new-to-channel products and strategic connections. There’s still time to register for your own Crack the Code Experience!

MSSA member “Tobies Station” featured in NACS 2020 “Ideas 2 Go”
Nothing Halfway Family-run Tobie’s Station is a “must-stop” between Minneapolis-St. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota. BY SARAH HAMAKER
Since 1948, Tobie’s Restaurant in Hinckley, Minnesota, has welcomed travelers on their journey between Duluth and Minneapolis/St. Paul. In the late 1970s, Tobie’s acquired the adjacent gas station, rebranding it as Tobie’s Sta-tion. “The gas station and small convenience store is very complementary to our restaurant business,” said Chris Hickle, who owns the business along with his younger sister, Pam Zabrok. Hickle’s grandfather was the original owner of the restaurant and convenience store, which Hickle and Zabrok purchased from their parents. “I’ve worked here my whole life,” Hickle said. “And I am thrilled to be the third generation to run this family-owned business.” ON THE ROAD Being a traveler’s traditional stopping point isn’t something Tobie’s Station takes for granted. “We’re a famous halfway stop between the Twin Cities and Duluth, and have marketed ourselves as such for as long as we’ve been in business,” Hickle said. Tobie’s Station advertises its presence on a freeway billboard and on social media. “People have known about us for years, and we’ve built our reputation on being the place to stop when traveling between these two cities,” he said. Today, the station boasts a dozen fueling pumps through the Minnoco brand, offering E85 and E15. In addition, there are eight Tesla Supercharger points. “We’ve had those electric chargers for nearly five years and see them be-ing used more and more every year,” he said.

After purchasing the gas station next door to his restaurant, Hickle’s grandfather put in a convenience store. “It was really an early rendition of the modern convenience store, with groceries and convenience items inside and gas pumps outside,” Hickle said. Hickle keeps the grocery section well stocked, which helped during the pandemic. In addition to necessities, To-bie’s Station offers grab-and-go food, drinks, beef jerky and candy, along with other traditional convenience store items. “Since convenience stores were deemed essential, we were able to operate out of our store and even sell some of our restaurant menu items,” he said. “The pandemic impacted our business greatly, since we had to com-pletely shut down our restaurant.” One thing that helped Tobie’s Station stay afloat was a willingness to open their restrooms to the public. “With so many fast-food restaurants only offering drive-thru and other businesses and public buildings closed, we were the only public restroom available,” he said. “That brought people into our store and helped us get through the lock-down.” A SWEET SIDE Travelers and locals alike have another incentive to stop at Tobie’s Station—to sample some of its world-famous baked goods. An in-house bakery churns out pans of caramel rolls, cinnamon rolls, donuts, apple fritters and other pastries daily. On a busy day, Tobie’s Station can sell 3,000 caramel and cinnamon rolls, plus numerous pans of donuts and fritters. A few years ago, Hickle added a Caribou Coffee kiosk inside the convenience store, which sells specialty coffee drinks. “Our baked goods sell so well, Caribou allowed us to put our bakery products in their case rather than their own branded sweets,” he said. The restaurant provides fresh, grab-and-go sandwiches, as well as pizza, which Tobie’s Station sells by the slice. “Our convenience store space is limited, so we’re not able to do more foodservice out of the store,” Hickle said. “But with the restaurant next door, we have a nice selection of grab-and-go food for our c-store customers.” When he took over, Hickle integrated both the restaurant and convenience store graphic. “Before we remodeled, not everyone knew it was the same business, even though both the restaurant and the convenience store had To-bie’s in the name,” he said. He put a red roof on both buildings, moved the convenience store signage from the side to the front, and made sure the brand crossed into both businesses. Overall, Hickle is proud of the family tradition of being there for travelers. “We hope our customers recognize that we run a top-of-the-line small family operation,” he said. “We want our customers to know we’re going to be here for many years to come.”
Tobie’s in-house bakery is a destination in itself, offering fresh-baked pastries, apple
fritters, donuts and other treats.

Expanded Right to Repair Passes in Massachusetts
Independent auto repair shops can breathe easier now that an expansion of the Right to Repair law has been ap-proved by voters in Massachusetts. Multiple news outlets have reported that on Nov. 3, voters overwhelmingly passed by a roughly three to one mar-gin Question 1 on the ballot, giving vehicle owners and independent repair shops in the state access to the real-time mechanical data from telematics in their customers’ vehicles. The drive to pass Question 1 was a grassroots effort with many industry associations, including the New England Tire & Automotive Association, the Tire Industry Association (TIA), SSDA-AT, and independent tire dealerships and wholesalers, joining in the effort. This is a victory for the entire automotive aftermarket and will allow inde-pendent repair shops to remain competitive with franchise car dealerships’ service operations as technology in ve-hicles increases. Question 1, according to the Massachusetts Right to Repair Coalition, “stated that vehicle manufacturers must make available all mechanical information needed to diagnose and repair cars as well as perform routine mainte-nance starting with 2022 models, over a secure open access platform that independent repair shops can access, when authorized by the car's owner.” “By voting yes on 1, Massachusetts has now updated Right to Repair for the modern age of connected vehicles,” said Tommy Hickey, Coalition director. The victory extends the Right to Repair Act first passed in 2012 in Massachusetts, which was later expanded na-tionwide. That law mandated that auto makers make available the same diagnostic and repair data available to in-dependents that car companies provide their own car dealerships and certified repair facilities. But the law exempted data shared wirelessly through telematics. With more than 90% of new cars transmitting real-time repair information wirelessly, independent repair shops would soon have limited or no access, according to a Massachusetts Right to Repair Committee fact sheet. Opponents to Question 1 raised concerns over consumer privacy, data ownership and usage rights. The vote sent a clear mandate, Hickey said. “The people have spoken – by a huge margin – in favor of immediate-ly updating right to repair so it applies to today’s high-tech cars and trucks.” Source- SSDA
