When I was asked to take the store over again, it was in complete disrepair and ranked in the bottom 200 out of roughly 1400 stores. Within 2 years, I had improved our numbers enough to be consistently within the top 100 and was asked to relocate the Topeka store where I was consistently within the top 5 stores in the entire company.
