The Convenience Store: All colleges and universities have an on-campus convenience store that serves both students and college employees. The core suppliers include Core-Mark, McLane, MR Williams, Eby Brown and HT Hackney.
One of the core retail industries the Conzumable Incubator is involved with is convenience stores. The Conzumable Incubator partners are creating marketing and sales programs linking local, regional and national c-stores (and their vendor partners) to college campuses nationwide.
The C-Stores Network (www.C-Stores.net) is the sales and marketing agency involved with program management. Look for new programs (lotto, beverages, foods, snacks, sundries) coming soon.
