Are you searching for a way to increase the revenue of your convenience store? One of the latest trends driving success for many C-stores is offering high-quality, hot meal options. Gone are the days of relying upon hot dogs on roller grills or biscuits-n-gravy to bring in customers. Instead, C-stores attract consumers by offering fast and delicious lunch and dinner selections like adding a Krispy Krunchy Chicken franchise to their locations.
C-stores ramped up their offerings of grab-and-go food and prepared meal options during the pandemic. During that time, consumers sought ways to limit their exposure to crowds. Grabbing a meal (often via parking lot pick-up or meal delivery services) from their local corner markets became a popular solution. The pandemic may be over, but it turns out that consumers continue to enjoy purchasing quick and tasty meals at their local markets.
The stats are in favor of prepared meal selections.
Intouch Insight recently released a 2023 report on the C-store industry. The results show there continues to be an excellent opportunity to increase revenue with hot food selections.
- 46% of survey respondents had recently purchased prepared food from a C-store.
- Customer satisfaction with the quality of food from C-stores increased by 7%.
- The number of consumers giving those food options a 5 out of 5 score dipped by 11%.
In other words, locations continue to provide prepared food options that meet consumers’ needs, but the overall quality of those selections hasn’t kept up. You can step in with a high-quality option like a Krispy Krunchy Chicken franchise to capture new business.
