Sammy is back! Sam of Wednesbury is now looking after the Solihull
massive and so becomes...Sam of Solihull, well done, your keeping up so
far.
Having been off the last couple of years adding to the worlds population
explosion,(Wednesbury is now so overcrowded the local council is asking
people to share trousers, one leg each, At weekends Sam and Mr Sam share
a nice pair of beige chinos) she is now back and rearing to go. Almost
immediately on stepping from her beloved Robin Reliant (only 3 previous
owners 2 nuns and Bishop Tutu, not the Bishop Tutu, another one) she
spotted an opportunity, you see Solihull is unique among petroleum
forecourts and convenience emporiums in that, it is the only one that
shares the forecourt with an undertakers!
Sam being the retail professional of many a year sees this as a massive
bonus that we should be highlighting via the pole
sign......bp...m&s...carwash...toilet...undertakers..
As she said to me,
"imagine the average customer popping in to pick up some bits and pieces
mentally ticking off their list, Beans, Bread, Milk, Bury Granny, Soap
powder"
Its a sure fire winner and no mistake!
The other aspect she likes is that the guy who runs the undertakers
lives above the place and, apart from hoping bumps in the night ARE
intruders, this gives them added security and staff on tap 24/7.
Something we at bp should emulate she insists. Young duty managers
starting out on the property ladder could rent some rooms above the
store and be ready for action whenever called upon!
Sammy, you think of everything.
