Tom Mclaughlin Email & Phone Number

Since 1998, I’ve helped Ultimate Sales grow by leading corporate relations and account management strategies that exceed our customers’ expectations and enhance our reputation within the industry. As the executive vice president of sales, I work to fuel our growth through industry-leading relationships with our new and established corporate customers. Working with the Ultimate Sales team comes naturally, as my philosophy has always been to go the extra mile to get the job done, but to make sure to have fun while doing it. Since our launch, Ultimate has led the charge introducing and growing foodservice sales for our A-list client manufacturers to our network of over 140,000 c-stores in North America. After 25 years of leading the market in c-store foodservice, we are now expanding our focus to become a “one-stop shop” across all categories including candy, snacks, and packaged beverages for our customers. Because of the long-standing relationships and trust we’ve cultivated with both single store operators and the largest chains in the country, we see expanding our product offerings as an opportunity to add value for our retailers. C-stores are not a division of our company, they ARE our company, and we’ve established strong relationships with retailers, distributors, and client manufacturers allowing us to work from concept to consumption, and every step in between.

Listed skills include Forecasting, Pricing, Merchandising, Retail, and 6 others.
