Some of our Core States Group team members attended the 2025 
@peinewsfeed Convention at the @nacs_online Show in Chicago, IL!

It was an excellent opportunity to reconnect with clients, meet new partners, and explore trends that are driving smarter, more efficient convenience projects. 

Here are a few key takeaways our team brought back:

🔌 Petroleum Electronics & Equipment:
New and remanufactured petroleum electronics are helping retailers boost uptime and reduce costs.

🍔 Foodservice Is the Growth Engine:
Foodservice now accounts for 28.7% of in-store sales, as C-stores compete with QSRs by offering restaurant-quality meals, full kitchens, and 24/7 prep capabilities.

🚗 AI & Connected Cars Are Reshaping Retail:
AI and connected cars are transforming how customers search for fuel and food, emphasizing the need for robust digital infrastructure and seamless tech integration in every facility.

🛡️ Crime Prevention Through Collaboration:
Retailers are calling for shared crime data and enhanced security systems to protect both employees and customers.

🥤 Emerging Product Trends:
Functional beverages, spicy-sweet and global flavor profiles, made-to-order meals, and loyalty-driven retail media are shaping the future of convenience.
