Retailer-of-the-Week

Cleveland, OH – Congratulations to Food Plus in Cleveland, this week’s Ohio Lottery Retailer-of-the-Week.  

Food Plus has been an Ohio Lottery retailer for eight years and manager Pavan Kumar said the store has built a strong reputation as a reliable and friendly lottery retailer from the start. 

“We focused on building relationships with our customers by offering helpful guidance,” he said. “Our team greets every customer with a smile. They are trained to answer any questions and suggest games based on customer preferences. Our staff stays updated on latest Ohio Lottery games and promotions.” 

Kumar said the store has a clearly marked section near the entrance exclusively for lottery products. The area features well-organized displays of scratch-off tickets, digital screens showing current jackpots and comfortable spaces for customers to fill out their play slips. 

This is why he’d describe the business as community-oriented, customer-focused, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.   

Additionally, staff are excited to witness firsthand how winning the lottery changes people’s lives. 

“Whether it’s a small win that brightens someone’s day or a big jackpot that creates life-changing opportunities, when a customer wins big, word spreads fast and others are inspired to try their luck.” 

Lottery sales representative Richard Slaughter recommended this retailer for their dedication. 

“From the inception, Sagar & Pavan of Food Plus have demonstrated the commitment to the Ohio Lottery and the community at large,” he said. “Whether it’s building eye-catching instant ticket displays or constructing counters to place lottery products at an advantageous level for better viewing. Nothing has been ‘off the table’ in order to further the sale of lottery products.”
