CEO, QuikTrip
“National media has become so polarized. When I want to know the real story, I turn to someone local who doesn’t have skin in the game, or an agenda they’re pushing,” says Chet Cadieux, QuikTrip CEO.
“The Tulsa World is moderate media in a world of extreme media. With the World, you get the whole conversation – not just half of it. You get the deep dive.”
Chet tends to open the Business section first. “I find it encouraging and energizing to read about small businesses creating jobs, restaurants and dry cleaners thinking up cool new ideas. Most of the employment and innovation in Tulsa comes from small business.”
“Understanding people that have a different viewpoint, that’s critical to a collaborative business environment,” Chet says. “We have employees from all different backgrounds, and the whole community comes in our stores. We have to understand their perspectives and respect them.”
“And the only place to get the whole community’s perspective is the Tulsa World.”
