Why Dinner Is the Next Big Opportunity for C-Stores—And How You Can Capitalize Most convenience stores thrive on breakfast and midday snack sales, but dinner remains an untapped goldmine. Did you know only 6% of consumers purchase prepared food from c-stores during dinner hours? That means there’s a massive opportunity to expand your foodservice program and capture new revenue. Successful c-store operators are already seeing results—offering hot, hearty, and portable meal solutions like pizza, fried chicken, pasta, and take-home entrees. Some brands are bundling meals to drive value, while others are leveraging rotating menu items to keep returning customers. The demand is there. The question is—are you ready to meet it? Join us at McConnell's Madness to explore the latest food and beverage programs designed to help c-stores win at all-day parts. From turnkey meal solutions to customizable offerings, we’ll show you how to boost food service sales and stay ahead of the competition. ??
