Beyond the Convenience Store: How ABS Is Helping Hollywood Quick Stop Build a Retail, Distribution & Community-Driven Enterprise
Client Spotlight | Community Development & Business Innovation
Hollywood Quick Stop, Shreveport, LA
3840 Linwood Avenue
Every thriving community has people who see potential where others see limitations. For Eric Stevens, owner of Hollywood Quick Stop, that potential lives right in the heart of Shreveport's Linwood and Hollywood neighborhoods. What began as a neighborhood convenience store is evolving into a vision for economic opportunity, community recognition, and a stronger future for the people who call this area home.
Since October 2025, ABS Consulting Services has been proud to work alongside Eric, helping turn his ideas into real business opportunities. Our partnership began with website development and digital branding for HollywoodQuickStop.com and has grown to include e-commerce planning, product development, distribution strategy, and new revenue opportunities. But what makes this collaboration special isn't simply the work being done. It's the purpose behind it.
Building More Than a Storefront
One of Eric's most ambitious initiatives is Stephens Distribution, a developing venture that will position him to eventually become his own product supplier. ABS is assisting with the business infrastructure behind that goal, including product barcodes, SKU development, QR-code integration, inventory organization, and distribution planning. We're also preparing for future grocery drop-shipping, online ordering, and delivery services that could make everyday essentials more accessible to the surrounding community.
Creating Champions in Our Own Backyard
Through the Game Day Crunch cereal brand and its Community Champions Project, Eric is finding creative ways to celebrate local athletes, families, entrepreneurs, and neighborhood leaders. ABS is helping bring this vision to life through collectible cereal packaging, interactive product designs, sponsorship packages, and marketing development. The goal is to create opportunities for community recognition while connecting families, local businesses, and supporters in meaningful ways.
A Vision Bigger Than Business
Eric Stevens represents the kind of entrepreneurship that communities need: people willing to dream beyond their current circumstances while investing in the places that helped shape them. His vision for Hollywood Quick Stop isn't just about expanding a business. It's about demonstrating what's possible when local ownership, creativity, and community commitment come together.
For ABS Consulting Services, this partnership is personal. We believe the future of Shreveport can be strengthened by entrepreneurs who are determined to build from within. And we're honored to help Eric develop the technology, strategy, branding, and operational systems needed to move that vision forward.
Because sometimes the next great opportunity for a community doesn't begin in a corporate boardroom. It begins with someone who believes in their neighborhood enough to build something there.
