Parker’s, a nationally-recognized convenience store leader, was recently named the ‘Best Convenience Store’ by the readers of both the Savannah Morning News and The Island Packet daily newspapers, in separate readership competitions.  

The two daily newspapers are the leading daily newspapers in the greater Savannah, GA and Bluffton/Hitlon Head, SC. markets, and polled their readers this past spring. 

The readers of the Savannah Morning News also honored Parker’s as ‘Best Luncheon Bargain, Best Deli and Best She Crab Soup.  The daily newspaper’s readers also honored Parker’s in the top three of all the metro area’s retail stores and restaurants for: Best Sweet Tea, Best Downtown Shop for Parker’s Market Urban Gourmet, Best Soul Food, Best Fried Chicken and Best Shrimp & Grits for Parker’s Market Urban Gourmet.  

“We are truly honored to have received such a high level of recognition by our customers in both of these local business-competition sections.  Our store managers do a great job every day providing fast, fresh and friendly service, achieving our goal of a superior customer experience,” said Greg Parker, president and CEO of The Parker Companies. 

“We realize our customers have many shopping and convenience store options. We’re thankful for their loyalty, and will continue to work to earn their shopping trust,” he added.   

“We try to be an innovator in our industry, and to bring new menu items to our stores for the benefit of our customers. Winning recognition in so many food categories helps to confirm that we’re on the right track,” Parker said.
