There is a long list
of convenience stores operators who are
using or testing drive-thru’s including Quickie Mart
Hackensack, N.J. Dairy Barn, New York. Bennie’s, drive-through convenience
store Arizona, The Kwik Trip convenience store chain, Wisconsin. Loveland Farms
Drive-Thru Albuquerque, New Mexico and Pak-A-Sak.
Prepared ready-2-eat and heat-N-eat food has been the staple of the QSR industry
for years. Most offer bundled grocerant
meal solutions with three choices small, medium or large. Recently the
Convenience Store sector has been working hard to expand fresh food offerings
via drive-thru as well.
It looks as if Texas based Pak-A-Sak Inc. might just have found the right
formula. The first drive-thru opened now accounts for 33 percent of all grocery
sales at that store. Given the positive customer response, all new Pak-A-Sak
convenience stores will have a drive-thru a third is already under development.
Drug stores have utilized Drive Thru’s for years
it will be interesting to see if with fresh prepared food sales picking up
dramatically they might begin to sell or dispense more than drugs via the drive
thru? The conversion of the store window
would be relatively inexpensive.
