Loop Neighborhood Market, Fremont, California, opened a concession stand inside the Oakland Arena in June. The counter, which offers Loop Neighborhood Market’s food and drink options, is open during all events.
- Vintners Distributors is No. 59 on CSP’s 2023 Top 202 ranking of U.S. c-store chains by number of company-operated retail outlets.
“We are excited to share that we have partnered with the Oakland Arena to show who Loop Neighborhood Markets is to the community there,” Loop Neighborhood Market said in a LinkedIn post.
The convenience-store chain signed a two-year contract with Oakland Arena in March, and it is exploring a partnership with the San Jose Sharks.
Along with the new concession stand, Loop Neighborhood Market has access to a private, 16-seat suite that it shares with employees, store staff and customers through giveaways. The suit has food and drinks catered at certain events.
“We wanted to offer/reward our customers, loop loyalty members and our employees an opportunity to experience great events and give back to the community we are in,” said Pervez Pir, president of retail at Loop Neighborhood Market.
Vintners Distributors, which operates the Loop Neighborhood Market and Poppy Market brands, is supported by more than 20 fuel tankers that are visible on the highways throughout the Bay Area, where more than 100 company-operated stores are located. The company also operates gas stations and car washes and develops real estate. Vintners has a wholesale division that delivers fuel to about 60 dealer locations in the market, but the company has no other influence on products or operations for those locations. Loop supports active and healthy lifestyles by carrying organic, natural and gluten-free products. It offers items more specifically targeted to female and millennial customers. Additionally, each location offers seating areas equipped with Wi-Fi to further enhance the experience.
