Convenience Stores: Transforming with Their Communities

It may be a metaphorical stretch, but convenience stores are like the general store and travel waystation of the 19th century: they are essential to their communities, but as with so many retail sectors during the pandemic, the transformation already begun must accelerate so convenience stores remain vital.

Some convenience stores have been critical during the pandemic, such as the Arivaca Mercantile in Arivaca, AZ, as the nearest gas station and grocery store are more than 35 miles distance.

Despite changes in business conditions, consumer behavior and technological advancements wrought by the pandemic, convenience stores are surviving and have many opportunities to expand their offerings and increase their value to their communities.

This month rsquo;s Special Report from Media Group Online explores the path, the evolution of convenience stores during the past 12 months and their work to create a better future.
