Since introducing PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter to the mar- ket, Bell Plantation has become quite accustomed to answering this question. While the powdered peanut butter trend that PB2 began is gaining traction in the market, many people still have not heard of this versatile product. PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter is a lower fat alternative to traditional peanut butters and is made by squeezing the fat from slow roasted premium peanuts. The resulting peanut powder is mixed with a small amount of sugar and a dash of salt to deliver the rich nutty taste of peanut butter with 85 percent fewer calories from fat. Almost invariably, the follow-up question to "Powdered what?" is "What do I do with it?" The answer to that ques- tion is, what can't you do with PB2? PB2 can be mixed with water or fruit juice to make a spread for toast or waffles. Chefs love how easy PB2 is to mix into recipes and baked goods, and athletes love that PB2 allows them to have the protein, folate, niacin and vitamin E of peanut butter with a lower fat and calorie count. Bell Plantation PB2 is also a favorite among campers and hikers as a lighter weight way to carry peanut but- ter on long trips. As snacking trends move toward healthy and convenient, with ingredient names you can pronounce, Bell Plantation's PB2 is ready to fit the bill. The PB2 and PB2 with Chocolate your customers know and love is also avail- able in 24 gram individual serving size packages. Perfect for grab-and-go!

Graff, President, Graffco Graffco is a three-generation family com- pany, and offers reconditioned gasoline dispensers and pumps primarily to the small marketer. We serve a specific pur- pose in the petroleum industry, which is offering an alternative to brand new pumps for the "little guy" because of pos- sible budget limitations. The goal of Graffco is to continue to earn respect in the petroleum industry because of the quality, value and service that Graffco has provided in the past and will contin- ue to do so in the future. Solutions for EMV upgrades are one of the issues we are dealing with at this time to present the industry with other options. We have a large supply of late model Encores and Ovations that can be upgrad- ed to satisfy the EMV requirements effective in 2017. We also currently have a limited number of Gilbarco MX700 kits that can be used for the EMV require- ments and can be purchased on their own or installed in the late model Encores and Ovations we offer. These kits do include a one year Gilbarco warranty from date of installation. As more alternatives for the EMV upgrades are developed, Graffco will continue to offer the best solution and options to small marketers as they emerge. In addition, Graffco has developed a "hit pump" program for larger companies that need replacements for hit dispensers. This program allows marketers to match existing ones already on the site. Another growing part of Graffco's business is rebuilt electronic boards, tank monitors, POS equipment and replacement dis- penser parts (stainless, overlays, etc.) With the reputation we've earned through the years of doing business, we continue to supply a niche market with quali- ty used and recondi- tioned pumps. If you are searching for an affordable solution to new petroleum equipment, then why not give us a try? We stand by everything we sell, and everyone in the petroleum industry knows that.

PDQ WASH ACCESS LOYALTY SYSTEM In a competitive marketplace, it has been proven that loyalty club members will use your carwash more frequently and spend more money when they are at your carwash. Because of this, building and maintaining loyalty in your customer base is important. PDQ's Wash Access Loyalty System (WALS) is the ideal solution for increasing revenue at your carwash. Create loyalty clubs, fleet accounts, fundraiser programs, gift cards and promotional giveaways with ease by implementing the WALS solution. Loyalty programs utilizing subscrip- tion services with automatic recurring billing is the latest change sweeping the carwash industry. Utilizing PDQ's Access Entry Station, a customer can sign up for his or her subscription mem- bership right at the pay station. Customers can even sign up on their mobile device using the mobile-friendly Member Portal e-commerce website. Once they are signed up, their account will be automatically billed each month without interaction from the wash opera- tor to initiate the billing. Pairing this sys- tem with an RFID reader provides a more secure way to ensure that the wash pro- gram isn't passed from vehicle to vehicle by using tamper-proof tags that are dis- abled when removed from the vehicle's windshield. If managing a subscription database is not of interest, then try utilizing the debit-based clubs that have members pre- pay for a group of washes and then redeem the washes at their convenience. This system allows operators to use sim- ple code-based memberships, mag stripe cards or the RFID hardware for customer redemptions. All of these options are designed to allow con- sumers the ability to reload their membership balances right from PDQ's Access Entry Station without having to involve an attendant. Initial sign-up for code- based memberships can also be done directly from PDQ's Access Entry Station. This same debit-based wash program, when paired with a mag stripe card emblazoned with custom graphics advertising the wash, is a fan- tastic tool for selling gift cards as well. Loyalty programs are a critical com- ponent to the success of your wash, and PDQ has put together a system that pro- vides many different options and possi- bilities for the wash operator to keep the business fresh and exciting in the eyes of consumers. Feel comfortable in your decision to purchase PDQ Equipment. The company is proud to be part of Dover Corporation, a Fortune 500 company.
