Retailer Spotlight

ROYAL DISCOUNT TOBACCO - NASHVILLE

Maria Al-Nemri, owner of Royal Discount Tobacco in Nashville, says she loves being a Tennessee Lottery retailer for two big reasons: “We make players happy, and we help a lot of students go to college with Lottery-funded scholarships.” 

Maria’s enthusiasm can be seen through the excellent customer service she and her staff provide, which is one of the biggest keys to her success. Another thing that makes a difference in her sales is letting people know about winners. Maria puts winning tickets in a bowl and lets customers look through to see how many people are winning at her store. “This makes them want to play,” she says.

Thanks to Maria and Royal Discount Tobacco for their tireless work as a valuable Tennessee Lottery Retailer.
