FavTrip will open its new flagship store Thursday morning in Grandview, Missouri. The state-of-the-art facility offers customers a convenient and reliable fueling destination featuring top-quality gasoline, diesel and other fuel products, President Babir Sultan said.
The store, the chain's third owned-and-operated location, is designed with the customer in mind, Sultan told CSP, featuring drive-thru and walkup windows, delivery service, multiple fuel dispensers, a spacious and clean convenience store and modern amenities. The store was designed with assistance from Paragon Solutions, Fort Worth, Texas.
"We are thrilled to bring this new store to the Grandview, Missouri, community," Sultan said. "We are committed to providing our customers with the best fuel and convenience products available, and our new location will help us deliver on that promise."
The company is also committed to building its reach slowly, preferring "to optimize each store. We like to see steady and slow growth," Sultan said.
The new store is 3,500 square feet, plus two tenant spaces, for a total building size of 9,000 square feet. FavTrip does not stock liquor or offer lottery sales, instead opting "to carry a lot of SKUs," including fresh produce to serve the community, Sultan said.
"We are focused on hiring dedicated and enthusiastic team members to provide exceptional service and provide a superior shopping experience for our customers," the company said in a press release. "We want all stakeholders to be proud to be part of the FavTrip family.
"We believe that each store should be a localized experience and have a strong community connection. We are committed to growing leaders that utilize the latest technology and outside-the-box thinking to help FavTrip to thrive in a competitive market."
The grand-opening celebration will begin at 8:30 a.m. Feb. 16. The event will feature special offers and discounts, as well as giveaways and snacks for customers.
Independence, Missouri-based FavTrip owns and operates three c-stores and leases out another nine sites.
