Service Provider Spotlight

Independence, MO, USA

Refreshments, LLC

Refreshments, LLC, has been a Vixxo Service Provider partner since 2014. As a Service Provider with Vixxo, Refreshments, LLC primarily services 7-Eleven sites in Missouri and Kansas, with some work in western Illinois. They provide various FM services in these locations, with their focus (and the bulk of their Service Request volume) on maintaining and servicing the onsite beverage equipment.

Originally founded by a convenience store owner in 1979 who saw an opportunity to provide better service, the family-oriented company evolved the business into a trusted “go-to” service partner to convenience store operators in the greater Kansas City area and the broader region. Their evolution found them expanding into offering beverage product sales and delivery, and today, they partner with both Pepsi and Coca-Cola as a direct supplier of Bag-in-Box fountain syrup to their customers. They also supply cups, lids, straws, and other paper goods to support their customers beverage needs. This one-stop shop for fountain customers has been highly successful.

In 2013, Scott Denmark purchased Refreshments and brought a fresh look to the established organization. “We compete with and outperform billion-dollar companies on a daily basis – and it’s a challenge we all covet,” said Scott.

“What makes us successful and able to grow is really two-fold. First, we emphasize customer service. The culture of providing great customer service extends back to our original founder Mike Peterson and continues to be a driving force in how we interact with our customers – at the account level and down to every onsite service event. Second, I like to think of our company and team as constantly working to improve our performance and innovate in our core operations. We stay focused on improvements in our people, the products we use and provide, and our procedures to maintain and solidify our place in this market. We actively seek out ways we can grow and are always open to new opportunities - and growing those opportunities through daily improvements.”

This dedication to and focus on performance is evident in how Refreshments approaches their Vixxo Service Requests. They are consistently a top performer when it comes to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), hitting 90%+ on a regular basis and some metrics at 100% in a given week. We appreciate all that Scott and his team does for 7-Eleven.
