LOOKING AHEAD
While COVID-19 has been stressful for operators, Oliver
and Maule are hopeful that the convenience services industry can have a strong recovery from the pandemic.
"I certainly don't like to benefit at the expense of others,
but ultimately it's been good because a lot of people have
not been leaving [the workplace], and they've been staying
at their facilities," he explained. "You've got a half-hour
break and there are only a couple of restaurant options that
need you to call ahead and plan, so I think it really bolsters
the convenience that we provide."
Oliver also recognized how the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of technologies that are commonly used
throughout micro markets, but are still somewhat novel in
the public-facing retail world.
"I think it's fast-tracked a lot of technology where you
don't really have to touch much when you come to a location or a micro market to purchase," he said. "I think it's
going to force a lot of cashless [payments]. Each year, cashless becomes a bigger and bigger portion of our revenue.
The convenience that we provide and the ability to have
products at the location really comes to light." ■
