Read what Larry Miller’s Customers Have To Say About Our Products & Services
“Eight weeks ago, we began changing our company’s culture with the help of Retail Control Group’s Total Store Manager program. I have been in the supermarket business for more than 30 years. Over the years, I have introduced many initiatives and programs designed to improve operational changes and results – NONE have come close to delivering the results we have attained with TSM. I have never seen Store Managers change habits and adopt new practices as enthusiastically as they have for TSM.
Larry and Mike create enthusiasm, clarity, and the confidence to take control of your store in a way that quickly produces impact. Our inventories are lower, productivity is up, known loss is down, and perishable freshness is improved. Best of all – cash flow is improved more quickly than expected. TSM has unquestionably produced a superior ROI when compared to other training programs we have tried.”
Kevin Weatherill President/CEO — The Markets, LLC — Bellingham, WA
“Retail Control’s Total Store Manager Program has been a giant step for our Company in bringing a consistent focus to our daily actions…creating a better shopping experience for our customers…and making a noticeable difference in our sales and profitability.
My biggest initial challenge with the Program was to make sure that my Assistant Managers and I were all on the same page with the same routines each day.
But, by the end of the first week, both Assistants had done an excellent job of maintaining all areas of the TSM Project and things were running smoothly. I have to say…The TSM program really works !”
Dave W. – Food Pavillion
“Following your training…
It appears our new “Total Store Manager” approach is going great, few bumps in the orad but over all seems to be accepted by most.In fact, visiting stores this past week I see a see noticeable improvement in store conditions, it appears we have elevated our expectations.
Since the market managers meeting even the meat heads are into the “Total Store Manager” Program. It’s working…We have been getting good reports from the perishable directors and the DM’s have said store managers want to show their store walk tablets.”

Real-Life case histories like these demonstrate amazing results:
- $66,000 stolen by cashier through fraudulent refunds over a six month period is revealed
- Theft ring of three cashiers stealing over $7,500 each month caught
- $90,000 in cashier theft uncovered and store manager terminated
- 17 inefficient, stealing cashiers resign within six weeks of program launch
“Within weeks of implementing (Larry Miller’s programs), we uncovered a case of coupon fraud that was costing us $2,500 a week – an embezzlement ring involving eight partners — plus several cases of operational inefficiencies that were causing major sales and profit losses. The employee counseling has improved productivity, efficiency and overall accuracy, as well. It’s more than a Loss-Prevention tool – it’s a cashier development and management process, too !”
Don Johnsey – HEB, San Antonio, TX
