When people think of gas stations and convenience stores, the typical thought process is that most of the money is made at the pump. In reality, that is far from the truth.

Despite the fact we're driving more, in bigger cars, using gas that's more expensive, the real money is actually made inside the store. According to a study from the National Association of Convenience Stores, 44 percent of customers go inside the store for food and beverage-related items, which account for 70 percent of a c-store's profits.

Let's say that again. Food and beverage create 70 percent of c-store profits. This means food and beverage-related equipment is just as important if not more important than the pumps outside on the islands.

For convenience store chains and smaller stores alike, any successful foodservice program starts with equipment designed for smaller spaces. Whether it’s cooking, preparation areas, or refrigeration, c-stores require solutions that not only work efficiently but fit in their limited space.

You may want to expand a c-store’s foodservice operating space without expanding an existing footprint while monitoring cost. When you're considering value refrigeration options, don't sacrifice quality. Polarcraft Refrigeration Products was formed to solve that challenge. With a complete line of medium and low temp AWEF-compliant systems available, and unmatched engineering behind the products, Polarcraft could be a perfect fit for your foodservice operation.
