Getting App-y

Even with the proliferation of smartphones, only one-quarter of convenience store foodservice shoppers surveyed by Carbonview Research, a sister company of Convenience Store News, said they currently have a c-store app on their device. This, despite the fact that more than 50 percent of the same surveyed shoppers belong to at least one c-store loyalty program.

When consumers were asked what store apps they use, 7-Eleven and Speedway ranked among those used most widely. Competitively speaking, though, Walmart sits at the top.
