Convenience Store Buyers | I came across these statistics in Convenience Store News – March 22, 2010 Edition. Think about your trips to convenience stores, what is the number one reason you stop. See if your list matches their list.
Number 10 – To buy a newspaper/magazine
Number 9 – To buy fill-in/emergency grocery items
Number 8 – To buy prepared food/fast food for immediate consumption
Number 7 – To use the restroom
Number 6 – To buy cigarettes
Number 5 – To buy candy/gum
Number 4 – To buy Lottery Tickets
Number 3 – To buy snacks
Number 2- To buy beverages
Number 1 – To buy gasoline
The special report breaks down the demographics, but I think you should really take a close look at this list and look and see how 1,085 adults responses were recorded and reported. Its very interesting and you can draw some quick conclusions based on these answers.
In any case, think about these statistics the next time you pull into a convenience store. I think the results are very typical of what is happening in your local convenience store.
