CARY, N.C. -- Six years after abandoning convenience-store operations, Cary Oil is back at it with a new store design and 14 sites.
Cary Oil's Breeze Thru Market (above) was created in 2013. This one is 4,100 square feet and features a quick-service restaurant, a beer cave, enhanced lighting and nice bathrooms.
Natural light from the expansive front windows helps create an entryway that is both bright and inviting. The entire store is lit with LEDs, and motion sensors control the lights in the store’s storage rooms and restrooms.
The Chuggin’ Zone features a bevy of cold-dispensed beverages. The fountain is situated appropriately near the roller grill and the store’s frozen dispensed beverages.
Cary Oil’s entry into foodservice includes Krispy Krunchy Chicken.
A beer cave is a new addition to this 4,100-square-foot store.
Customers can visit the roller grill for a grab-and-go foodservice option.
Customers can find both sweet and salty snacks along a generous merchandiser.
Breeze Thru offers an extensive selection of cigarettes and other tobacco products neatly displayed in rows behind the registers.
