Creating Loyal Customers with Midax By Don Pietras, President, 1 Stop Fuel and Convenience Stores Loyalty. What exactly does that mean? Just more profit or creating value in a customer's mind by being more in touch with their shopping patterns and provid- ing products and services they demand in their busy lives. Loyal customers spend more per visit and visit more often. We strive to give our customers a better buying expe- rience. In today's world, I firmly believe that customers now expect some type of loyalty program. We feel that the partner- ship we have developed with Midax gives us a world class program tailored to our customer base.
