Sector Spotlight: Grocery and Convenience Stores
These days, the need might be driven by panic or desire
for information. And, says O'Donnell, "The store's role is to
guide the hero and offer a plan, a message that there are safe
and healthy options in here."
7-Eleven Inc. (Dallas), the convenience store giant, might
have been anticipating the shopper's changing needs when it
created the Evolution Lab Store, its first design refresh in 20
years. The concept, which debuted in Dallas in fall 2019 and
in Washington, D.C., in March (shown), is an effort to appeal
to shoppers beyond just coffee, cigarettes, candy bars and
lottery tickets, according to Billy Plummer, VP at Baltimorebased CallisonRTKL's Dallas office.

now owns Laredo Taco, which serves handcrafted dishes
cooked on premises and assembled before shoppers' eyes.
There will also be handmade pizza, a special brand of freshroasted chicken, a high-quality coffee shop, a wine cellar,
premium ice cream and cold beverage stations featuring
organic Slurpees, in flavors such as blood orange, coconut
and cucumber.
Locally sourced materials and artwork are good ways to
communicate to the local market in ordinary times. These
days, it's part of the reassurance retailers want to project that
they're part of the community.
"All savvy c-store operators are investing in their brands,"
says Kraig Kessel, Co-Founder of Kraido (San Francisco),
which specializes in the convenience sector. "That means
proprietary food service offerings and fresh and healthy
options, though still reasonably priced."
