Result of meetings with multiple liquor stores in Oklahoma last week

 What a blessing to be able to meet with the owners, managers and staff at over 31 liquor stores in Oklahoma last week! Most of them use the Cloud Retailer Liquor POS software in their stores and they all had a lot of positive things to say about Cloud Retailer.  Here are a few pictures that I took:

 

 Aside from the feedback on Cloud Retailer, we discussed a larger variety of topics like YoY sales data, THC, marketing, dual pricing, and the Oklahoma ABLE Commission.

If I missed getting chance to meet with you, please let me know via my personal email (kevinantosh@gmail.com) - I'm sure that I can make another trip to Oklahoma if enough liquor stores express interest in meeting with me! 

Cheers!
