Green Valley Grocery

Green Valley Grocery is a locally owned and operated convenience store chain. Out of 35 stores in Las Vegas, Henderson, Pharump, and Mesquite, 31 sell gasoline as well.

Owner Richard Crawford puts a prime importance on his employees, more than most other chain stores. Average turnover in the convenience store industry is six months. Average turnover at Green Valley Grocery is two years. The idea is to have employees thinking of their jobs as primary incomes and learning and growing from their mentors in the company. Residents like to see familiar faces behind the counter year after year, says Crawford. A sense of permanence reassures customers that a store is well run.
