Convenience stores are bringing out the pumpkin in their fall menu offerings, according to CSNews. Rutter’s convenience stores will feature Pumpkin Rolls, Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino, Pumpkin Spice International Delights Creamer, and Pumpkin Fritters, as well as Pumpkin Spice Syrup available at all coffee condiment areas. Meanwhile, QuikTrip Corp. will be offering Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Spice Cake Donuts.
Editor’s Note: A close rival to micro markets, c-stores provide great insight into the products and seasonal trends operators should be following. Have you added pumpkin-flavored offerings to your micro markets yet? Consumers will begin seeing these items in grocery and c-stores channels and will expect to see them in the breakroom as well.
