AUSTIN, Texas, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 360training.com, Inc., a leading provider of online compliance and workforce training, has acquired Ready Training Online (RTO^®), a full-service training provider serving the restaurant and convenience store sectors. This acquisition strengthens 360training's mission to deliver industry-specific training that helps businesses stay compliant and develop high-performing teams.

"The acquisition of RTO is a significant milestone for 360training as we continue expanding our footprint in regulated industries," said Tom Anderson, CEO of 360training. "RTO's deep expertise and reputation in the convenience store space align perfectly with our long-term vision to offer best-in-class training to essential industries that keep the country running."

Founded in 2005, RTO has spent two decades helping convenience stores and related service businesses across the country develop their frontline workforce and maintain compliance with critical government regulations. The Company has established strong partnerships with many of the top convenience store operators in the United States and is recognized as the preferred eLearning partner of the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS). Now, joining the 360training family, RTO is poised to deliver even greater value to its partners.

"In joining 360training, we are confident RTO clients, and the convenience industry will continue to receive the training necessary for employee success. I am very proud of the RTO and 360training teams. The hard work on both sides led to a well-coordinated, efficient, and non-disruptive acquisition. Their model ensures that becoming part of the 360training family is both effortless and rewarding."

Together, 360training and RTO will extend their impact by enhancing access to workforce education and compliance training across essential industries.

"This is more than a business decision—it's an opportunity to bring greater value to the communities we serve," said Samantha Montalbano, COO of 360training. "RTO's training helps frontline employees stay safe, informed, and prepared. Together, we can extend that impact by enhancing access to education in one of the country's most essential service industries."

As part of the portfolio, RTO will help deliver robust, targeted training tailored for employees in the convenience and retail industries. The acquisition also opens new doors for 360training's current customers, particularly in the food and beverage space, who will now gain access to RTO's extensive catalog of compliance and operational training tailored to convenience store operations.

"We're excited to offer our customers in the convenience retail space a broader, more integrated training solution," added Ryan Linders, CMO of 360training. "With this acquisition, we're blending RTO's industry leadership with 360training's expertise in food safety, alcohol seller-server compliance, and workforce education—creating a one-stop shop for scalable, high-impact training."
