LA PLATA, Md. -- The Wills Group Inc.'s Dash In Food Stores, a convenience chain located in the Baltimore/Washington, D.C., market, has rolled out Javo Beverage Co. Inc.'s iced coffee program. It has added Javo's beverage concentrates to corporate owned locations throughout Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
Dash In provides its customers with convenient access to quality products, including breakfast and deli lunch sandwiches, pizza, fried chicken, fresh bakery, fresh fruits and salads, and a host of other grocery products. Dash In offers gasoline at all locations and is [image-nocss] known for their "Size Doesn't Matter" 99-cent price for all sizes of cold dispensed beverages. All Dash In locations that carry Javo products own their own dispensing equipment.
The Wills Group also owns and operates more than 300 retail petroleum distribution gas stations with more than 90% of product coming from Shell Oil. In addition to the Dash In locations at Shell stations, other select c-stores connected to Wills Group stations have also begun carrying Javo Beverage iced coffee.
