FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Wes Stone never thought he'd create a communications forum that would connect the entire convenience store industry. But Stone, a 19-year veteran of the convenience store (C-Store) business, knew he had a concept with great potential for this market. Today, MyCStoreWorld.com has members representing every facet of the market; and it offers an unprecedented world of knowledge, experience, ideas and solutions valuable to every C-Store professional.

MyCStoreWorld.com was inspired by Stone's wife Emily, who was communicating with family and friends on Facebook(R). "My wife was so excited about the connections she was making in her online community," Stone stated. "It made me realize this type of platform could be used in a more focused, single-market environment," Stone continued. Hence the birth of MyCStoreWorld.com, a social-business networking site dedicated to the C-Store market.

Having spent his entire career in the industry, Stone really knows and loves the convenience store world. But he also recognized the biggest challenge in the market ... lack of communication. Stone admits, "There's so much professional knowledge and experience to be shared in this business, but there was no one-stop vehicle available for people to ask questions, find advice and share success stories. Until now."

"In just six short months, MyCStoreWorld.com has established a large forum where members are sharing time-saving, valuable information ... every day," Stone said. "From simply exchanging a buyer's name and contact number, to ground-level, in-the-trench strategic data, MyCStoreWorld.com offers a single destination site where everyone in this industry can find instant access to information that can make them more knowledgeable and more successful," Stone continued.

Unlike other media-driven blogs and discussion groups found on the web, MyCStoreWorld.com is unique. The site participation is free, it's strictly focused on the C-Store market and most importantly, it's completely user-driven. Stone wants members to know "every member has an equal voice in this community ... from chains to independents, distributors to manufacturers, industry leaders to broker sales representatives."

Stone's passion for MyCStoreWorld.com is evidenced by the industry reception that is pouring in. Visitors to MyCStoreWorld.com are confirming its value, membership increases every day and the average user spends over 16 minutes exploring the site. "It's gratifying," Stone says, "to see the excitement and exchange of ideas quickly building throughout the C-Store community."
