United Kingdom, September 16, 2013- With people leading a fast-paced life, they do not get time to shop for necessary supplies at leisure. Hence for them, convenience stores are a great boon. These stores are actually small sized shops that one generally finds in busy street junctions and local gas stations. Such stores sell variety of products like foodstuff (fresh and frozen), drinks and beverages, tobacco products, candies and chips, hot dogs and doughnuts etc. Local people frequent these stores when they come to the gas station for refueling or to use the washroom.
The idea behind these stores is to enable people to get a quick and convenient stop where they can eat and buy supplies when they stop to buy gas. Apart from supplies, some stores also offer facilities like instant cash withdrawal through money order or wire transfer services. There are also stores that offer ticket booking services. These additional services attract customers which help boost store sales. Some gas stations even have large chains of such stores to provide better customer service and to augment their profit margin. The advantage of convenience stores is that these are open for long hours with some remaining open for 24 hours. It is very convenient for travelers who drop in at the gas station at odd hours.
