Rise in Purchases from Convenience Stores

04/03/2020

The National Association of Convenience (C) Stores recorded an increase in sales of grocery items as a result of increased patronage attributed to reluctance of shoppers to visit large supermarkets.

The national survey conducted by the Association showed: -

  • Of retailers responding to a questionnaire, 52 percent noted that grocery sales have increased
  • Most C-Stores are adding cleaning and toiletry items, hot meals and in some cases multipack items
  • Some C-Stores have now introduced curbside pickup and a small proportion are offering delivery
  • As with QSRs, C-Stores have closed sit-down dining and curtailed self-serve foods

Dennis McCartney, Director of Operations for Landhope Farms of Pennsylvania commented "the emphasis on cross-contamination and customer safety is something that has been highlighted over and over during this crisis and something that will continue long after this is over."
