“To bridge this gap between operators’ beverage pricing strategies and consumer behaviors, it’s crucial that c-store operators implement value-driven promotions to better align pricing with consumer expectations,” says Donna Hood Crecca, principal at Technomic. “This approach, coupled with beverage innovation around flavors and formats, will drive sales. Suppliers who support operators by providing promotional assistance and strategic innovation to help execute effective value-oriented beverage strategies will separate themselves from the competition during this challenging time.”
Some other key findings from this report include:
Accelerated sales growth is expected for c-store beverages through 2028, with cold and frozen drinks outpacing hot beverages
Coffee and coffee beverages generate 55% of total prepared beverage sales at c-stores
Among heavy cold beverage users, availability of made-to-order, better-for-you and innovative prepared beverages are of particular importance when deciding which c-store to visit
40% of operators agree or strongly agree that not enough innovative beverage options are provided by supplier partners
While c-store beverage subscription models once showed notable promise, attention has shifted toward new ways to build customer loyalty, such as personalized rewards and updated app features
