These days, it’s not enough for convenience stores to only offer coffee, tobacco, and a quick bite to eat. As convenience store inventories increase, so do consumer expectations. More and more customers expect to be able to purchase basic household items on the go without having to make a second stop.

Growing demand for essential household items in convenience stores

Understanding shoppers’ regularity is essential: For an overwhelming number of consumers, purchasing essentials from a convenience store is part of their weekly or monthly routine rather than a last resort. According to Technomic Q1 2020 C-Store MarketBreef, 61% of convenience store consumers buy housewares from a convenience store every week, and 91% buy housewares once a month, reflecting an increase in weekly and monthly shoppers from the previous quarter. This indicates that the successful marketing and positioning of retailers has led consumers to view the convenience store as a place that shoppers can rely on to regularly transport the everyday items they need.

If a consumer finds out that they forgot their phone charger or headphones while away, for example, a convenience store is likely to be one of the easiest places to stop and buy them. Since these items are frequently purchased on the go, it is essential that convenience stores strive to create effective and memorable merchandising so that convenience stores are a priority when the need arises.
