Convenience stores have reinforced themselves as a much needed valuable resource for consumers in need of food and beverage items on the go. In fact, throughout the COVID pandemic, many consumers have been relying on their local convenience stores to pick up fresh fast food with minimal human contact.
Choosing the proper display case for your convenience store is important to ensure your customers can find what they need quickly and efficiently. Having your food items fully stocked in a high traffic area also allows for more impulse purchases.
According to foodnavigator-usa.com, convenience stores are pivoting to provide more fresh food and ready-to-eat meals that can be consumed right away, especially in light of the pandemic. Let’s explore some display case solutions that are ideal for the needs of convenience stores.
Island Refrigerated Self-Serve
Island merchandisers are designed with impulse sales in mind. Having a 365-degree view of refrigerated product offerings allows for maximum exposure to your store’s cold food display. Customers can easily find what they need and your store can offer more products compared to a more traditional case.
The merchandiser is easy to clean and can keep food safely stored at 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit. 60-inch and 84-inch islands are also available in Federal’s Elements line.
End-Cap Refrigerated Self-Serve
When recently surveyed in a Convenience Store Consumer Study, consumers ranked ready-to-go and self-serve foods, beverages, and snacks as the preferred type of foodservice when shopping at a convenience store.
End-cap merchandisers are the perfect addition for maximizing product displays at the end of an aisle and have a smaller footprint. Convenience stores can expect to gain more ROI with these cold food item displays and maintain limited human contact.
Counter Top Display
For maximum return from minimal space, many store operators opt for countertop merchandisers. These units attractively display your fresh foods for increased impulse purchases and profits. With refrigerated, non-refrigerated, hot units, in-service, and self-serve styles, countertop displays are an effective way to merchandise food and save space.
