Duration: 45 minutes
Join us for the eighth episode of Facilities Unfiltered, a candid conversation series spotlighting the people behind the spaces that power today's most innovative brands.
This episode takes us beyond restaurants. Ecotrak CEO Matt Singer sits down with Adam Walker, Director of Operations at Holiday Oil, the Utah convenience store chain that has been serving the state since 1964 and now runs roughly 75 locations.
Convenience retail is its own kind of facilities challenge. Every site brings fuel systems, coolers, foodservice equipment, and car washes together under one roof, running long hours with no easy window to take anything offline. Adam has spent nearly two decades inside that reality, starting as a store manager and working his way up through area management to lead operations statewide. He joins us to talk about what consistency actually takes across a dispersed footprint, and why the best operating systems are the ones that keep teams from getting comfortable.
What You’ll Hear:
What makes convenience store facilities different from traditional facilities, and where the playbooks overlap
How Holiday Oil built a safety culture around daily checklists, monthly training, and layered inspections
Why complacency is the real enemy, and the systems Adam uses to fight it
Lessons from rising through the stores into a statewide operations role
How a family business founded in 1964 keeps 75 sites running to the same standard
