Abstract:

Kwik-Pik Markets, Incorporated opened its first store in Raleigh eleven years ago. Today, with headquarters in Henderson, Kwik-Pik has 120 stores with over 450 employees in North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Michigan. George Frazier and Grady Tharrington developed the concept. Kwik-Pik's success is based on the fact that shopping is four times faster in them; stores keep longer hours and are open seven days a week, plus holidays; and customers can park right at the front door.
