Convenience stores are making headlines and the buzz is all about food.
- “Your best bet for food is the closest gas station…” – Fox News, “5 healthy gas station snacks for your summer road trip”
- “Convenience stores have continued to evolve from gas stations that happen to sell food to food retailers that happen to sell gas.” – NACS Online
- “Nearly a third of consumers buy food or beverages from convenience stores at least once a week.”– Food Business News
As snacking takes the place of traditional meals, convenience stores can capitalize on immediacy and value with a solid foodservice strategy. We call this “The Snack Factor.”
Concession foods are a central element because they offer key benefits. They are:
- easy to prepare – can come ready-to-serve or the equipment does the work for you
- simple to implement – does not involve the cost, staffing or hassle of an on-site restaurant or other made-to-order food options
- popular – foods that are proven to be favorites across demographics
- tasty – savory flavors that tempt the tastebuds
- affordably priced for the consumer – nearly all are $5 or less per serving
- highly profitable – margins can be as high as 84%
To help convenience stores implement this at their location, we’ve developed a quick guide called “The Snack Factor.” It includes:
- The Foodservice Market Forecast
- What’s Triggering Snack Food Purchases
- Tips & Tricks
- Recommended Products
- Estimated Profit Projections
