Beyond Gas & Smokes:
How On-Site Ice Technology Fuels Freshness and Sustainability
Gone are the days of “gas, smokes, and cokes.” C-stores are undergoing a transformation, reflecting the rapidly evolving landscape of consumer preferences. Freshness and sustainability have emerged as paramount concerns. This shift in consumer mindset presents both a challenge and an opportunity for C-store owners and operators. CSNews reported that only 41% of C-store shoppers are somewhat satisfied with C-store healthy offerings. According to Alchemmy, up-and-coming Gen Z shoppers increasingly prioritize ethics and sustainability over price points.
