Mr. Creager, earned his MBA from Denver University, formulated a competitive strategy to provide convenience stores, gift shops and other niche stores in Colorado with “The Best in Convenience.” Creager accomplishes this by stocking the products, including unique and niche products, needed to service their clientele, giving them outstanding customer services, providing shopping options, and benefiting from great pricing so their business can thrive.

Chip is a follower of Christ who is active in St. Dominic Catholic Parish and ministers to his customers by providing a complimentary copy of the Jesus Calling devotional by Sarah Young, to any customer who wants one and mentoring at risk youth.  Chip will share his compelling story of how Satan tried to destroy his life and business with his “schemes” and how God helped Chip overcome those schemes.
