THE DISAPPEARING MIDDLE Several Midsize Chains Are Gobbled COVER STORY THE DISAPPEARING Several midsize chains are gobbled up by this year's Top 20 Growth Chains MIDDLE A Convenience Store News Staff Report HOLIDAY STATIONSTORES, WESTERN REFINING, ROADRUNNER MARKETS, PDQ FOOD STORES, JET- PEP, HONEY FARMS, FLYERS ENERGY, MAD MAX, PIC QUIK, JIFFY STOP, SAV-O-MAT, WES-T-GO. These are just some of the midsize con• venience store chains that were sold and acquired in the past year, gobbled up by the 2018 Convenience Store News Top 20 Growth Chains. Led by Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. — which alone grew its U.S. store count by 23.4 percent between January 2017 and January 2018 by adding 1,253 net new stores — this year's top growth chains combined added 2,573 stores, equating to an 11.5-percent increase. What's more, they added nearly 1,200 more stores year over year than 2017's top growers. The 2017 Top 20 Growth Chains added 1,396 stores combined, equating to a 5.9-percent increase. "Consolidate, then fragment. Consolidate, then fragment again. It seems like it's been going on for many years," Jeff Miller, president of Norfolk, Va.-based Miller Oil Co., said in reference to the past 40 years of mergers, acquisitions and breakups in the convenience store industry. Lately, interest rates for buyers have been so low and EBITDA multiples (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for sellers have been so high that a midsize retailer who's even thinking of selling, or has no family succession plan, is greatly tempted to sell, according to Miller, who himself is a mid• size retailer, operating 20 c-stores in Virginia. "One thing that's changed from the past is that technology has advanced to the point where an acquirer can scale up pretty efficiently. In the past, it was much more difficult to absorb large groups of stores because of all the infrastructure changes they'd have to make," he added. With many midsize convenience store chains being private, family-owned and operated businesses, Dennis Ruben, exec• utive managing director of NRC Realty & Capital Advisors LLC, also sees succession planning, or rather lack thereof, contributing to the disappearing middle. "We've seen a lot of instances with these companies where the guy who started MAR 2018 Convenience Store News 41 COVER STORY and is running the business wants to retire and there's nobody to run it.

  • For the Fuel & Convenience Store Industry
    FOOT TRAFFIC REPORT FOR THE FUEL & CONVENIENCE STORE INDUSTRY Q1 2017 A NEW ERA FOR THE CONVENIENCE STORE As the convenience store industry adapts to meet customer needs and grow market share, location intelligence is becoming increasingly critical to understanding consumer habits and behaviors. GasBuddy and Cuebiq teamed up in the first quarter of 2017 to issue the first foot traffic report for the fuel and convenience store industry. Highlights: GasBuddy and Cuebiq examined 23.5 million consumer trips to the pumps and convenience stores between January 1 and March 31. In Q1, more than half of GasBuddies visited locations within six miles of their homes or places of employment, giving retailers the opportunity to leverage their greatest resource—knowing their customer base—to localize and personalize their product selection. Weekdays between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. were highly-trafficked hours in Q1. Convenience stores are poised to lure business away from QSRs and grocery stores now that customers can eat quality meals at the same place and time they choose to fill up their tanks. With filling a gas tank clocking in at an efficient 2-3 minutes, the 73% of GasBuddies who spent more than five minutes at locations in Q1 demonstrated that consumers are likely willing to spend some time in store before or after visiting the pumps. QUARTERLY FOOT TRAFFIC REPORT 1 GasBuddy examined nearly 23.5 million consumer trips to gas Indiana-based gas station and stations and c-stores in Q1 2017 convenience store chain Ricker’s enjoys a loyal GasBuddy customer Which fuel brands captured the base—the nearly 50-station brand highest ratio of footfall per station? captured more than 4x the industry average footfall per location in Q1.

  • Rated Gas Station Brands
    GasBuddy reveals America’s 2018 top- rated gas station brands Based on 7 million reviews in the GasBuddy app, they have selected the top 10-rated gas station brands in the U.S. GasBuddy has issued its 2018 Top Gas Station Brands in the U.S. report, revealing which gas station convenience store brands had the best-of-the-best experience based on nearly 7 million reviews in the GasBuddy app. “GasBuddy ratings and reviews data show that customer service, food, and amenities are the top factors in generating positive reviews. All the brands that made our list this year demonstrate how the industry continues to move towards being a destination for fresh food, clean facilities, and excellent customer service,” says Frank Beard, analyst at GasBuddy. Top 10 Gas Station Brands in the U.S. in 2018 1. Kwik Trip Leading the pack is Wisconsin-based Kwik Trip. With more than 560 U.S. locations in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, Kwik Trip sweeps the rankings by capturing the highest ratings and reviews in four of the six GasBuddy categories: cleanliness, outdoor lighting, restrooms and overall experience. 2. Cenex With more than 1,700 locations across 19 states, Minnesota-based Cenex with also made a strong showing in 2018 by placing second in the overall category and in three individual categories including cleanliness, outdoor lighting and restrooms. Cenex received top marks in customer service. 3. Kum & Go Headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, Kum & Go placed in five of the six categories, including cleanliness (3), customer service (5), outdoor lighting (4), restrooms (4) and overall experience (3).

  • Foot Traffic Report Q4 2017
    FOOT TRAFFIC REPORT & DRIVING TRENDS for the fuel & convenience store industry 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW & 2018 FORECAST 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW & 2018 FORECAST GasBuddy and Cuebiq examined 121 million consumer trips to convenience and fuel retailers in 2017—with 35 million visits taking place between October 1 and December 31. This data provides insights into consumer behavior that will continue to be relevant throughout 2018. Highlights: Ricker’s Captures the Top Spot in 2017 The Indiana-based retailer edges out the competition for the highest ratio of footfall per station in 2017—nearly five times the industry average. Costco claims second place after capturing the top spot in Q4, and Meijer comes in a close third. Good Forecourt Lighting is Good for Business Throughout 2017, there was a strong correlation between overnight foot traffic and the quality of forecourt lighting. Stations near interstates with above-average outdoor lighting ratings on GasBuddy saw a 50% increase in foot traffic, during the hours of 9:00pm to 5:00am, when compared to those with below-average ratings. Visits were up in Q4 From Q3 to Q4 2017, visits to gas stations and convenience stores saw an uplift of 5.15%. Busiest Time of the Day An analysis of location data reveals that Friday at 12:00pm saw the highest average levels of foot traffic in 2017. Lunch hours were the busiest during the work week, and the morning commute was comparatively slower. GasBuddies Go Beyond the Pump McDonald’s narrowly edged out Subway to become GasBuddies' favorite quick-service restaurant of 2017, and Starbucks took the title over Dunkin' Donuts in the coffee shop category.

  • Quiktrip, Wawa and Sheetz Top US C- Stores
    QuikTrip, Wawa and Sheetz top US c- stores A focus on Fresh and Ready-to-Eat is the biggest differentiator. QuikTrip, Wawa and Sheetz are the top retailers in the $654.3 billion U.S. Convenience market, according to the second annual dunnhumby Retailer Preference Index for the Convenience Channel (RPI). The RPI surveyed nearly 7,000 U.S. households to determine which of the top 27 c-store retailers have the strongest combination of financial performance and consumer emotional connection. The retailers with the highest overall index scores are: 1) QuikTrip, 2) Wawa, 3) Sheetz, 4) Kwik Trip/Kwik Star, 5) RaceTrac, 6) Casey’s General Stores, and 7) Maverik. “There is a raging battle for the stomach that is being fought not only by grocery retailers, fast food restaurants, and food delivery services, but also now by convenience stores. The convenience retailers winning today and substantially growing are catering to the time-starved consumer by offering not only groceries, but also quality fresh and ready-to eat food,” said Jose Gomes, President of North America for dunnhumby. “Instead of focusing on just winning loyalty or new customer acquisition, retailers need to focus on winning the customer and each customer mission together.” The RPI study explored the evolving food retail landscape to help retailers navigate an increasingly challenging market. The overall RPI ranking evaluated retailer performance on five pillars: convenient quality, price, fresh and healthy, discounts and rewards, and digital.
