Sponsored by The Hershey Company, the Hershey Industry Performance Analysis (HIPA) Report measures several key benchmarks among convenience wholesalers, including sales per employee, gross margin, return on investment, inventory turnover, salaries, and much more. Every spring, the HIPA survey is mailed to AWMA distributors–only those completing the survey will receive a final copy of this report.
