Holiday Companies operates about 400 convenience stores (about 100 of which are franchised) in a dozen states, from Michigan to Washington and Alaska under the Holiday Stationstores banner. The shops sell the company's own brand of Blue Planet gasoline (low-sulfur fuel available in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). The firm exited sporting goods retailing when its Gander Mountain chain (acquired in 1997) went public in 2004. Holiday Companies was founded in 1928 as a general store in a small Wisconsin town by two Erickson brothers, whose descendants still own and run the company.

Competitive Landscape for Holiday Companies
Demographics and small business growth drive demand, and spending in warehouse clubs generally resists economic cycles. The profitability of individual companies depends on high volume sales, low-cost purchasing, and efficient distribution. Large chains dominate the market due to advantages in purchasing, distribution, and finance. Average annual revenue per employee is about $304,000. Warehouse clubs have grown rapidly. Industry sales increased at an annual average rate of 35 percent between 1998 and 2008, compared to 16 percent for all general merchandise stores. The number of warehouse club stores more than doubled between 1998 and 2008, with expansion coming at the expense of grocery stores and department stores. Warehouse clubs differ from superstores by requiring a membership to shop. Superstores typically offer a wide range of products, while warehouse clubs offer a limited selection. Both types of retailers sell products across many categories including food, and both compete with grocery stores, mass merchandisers, department stores, drugstores, specialty retailers, and wholesalers. Some retailers, such as Wal-Mart, operate warehouse and superstores as well as traditional discount stores. To read the full description, subscribe now.Top Holiday Companies Competitors
