Yesterday held a good and informative staff meeting with Jason from Keystone. Some area's of interest - the older ( non-CARQUEST ) web site has the ad slick builder ( Jason will try to get CARQUEST marketing to OK this on their site ) handy for making a statement stuffer or in-store reminder ( or junk e-mail - but use that with caution ). Other area's of interest were the growing RV products.
Since Keystone is priced in USA dollars then converted to Cdn --we run into the issue of strong currency moves --had the attendees pick their GUESS on the exchange rate at the next staff meeting (the 3rd not the 2nd Monday in Oct due to Thanksgiving) -with prizes and bragging rights to the winners.
