Question #1
As Miller balances the need to drive traffic with value promotions against protecting margins, will he default to his operational playbook of chasing short-term volume, or has he developed the strategic discipline to sacrifice market share to protect long-term profitability?
Question #2
To execute the strategic pivot to foodservice, will Miller champion the necessary, and potentially margin-dilutive, investments in new capabilities, or will his background in fuel and operational efficiency cause him to revert to the legacy convenience model under pressure?
Question #3
Considering the high-profile failure of the Seven & i bid, has Miller developed the strategic discipline to walk away from a large, transformative deal, or is he more likely to chase a “win” to cement his legacy, even at the risk of overpaying?
