The Spinx Co. opened the doors for its newest store concept, the Spinx Market & Eatery, in late October.

Greenville, South Carolina-based Spinx said it wants the new location, located at 659 S. Main Street in downtown Greenville, to become the go-to “neighborhood nook for all of life’s necessities.”

  • Spinx is No. 77 on CSP’s 2024 Top 202 ranking of U.S. c-store chains by store count.

The new store will offer made-to-order gourmet food items, including flatbreads, sandwiches, salads and soups. Other items include bakery items, fresh produce and local favorites, including Methodical Coffee, Carolina Honey Bee and Dottie’s Toffee. The store’s menu will also include Spinx’s fried chicken.

“We’re thrilled to bring the Spinx Market & Eatery to downtown Greenville,” said President and CEO Steve Spinks. “Our mission is to make people’s lives easier, and that means evolving to meet customers changing needs.”

Spinx Market will be open seven days a week from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. The kitchen will operate from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Breakfast will be served from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. while lunch and dinner options are available from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. After 9 p.m., grab-and-go options will be available till 2 a.m. 

The site of the new concept store dates to 1884. In 1935, it was used as a gas station, and Spinx said it has paid homage to the former Sinclair service station by incorporating its unique features into its design.

Spinx began in 1972 with a home heating oil delivery service and one convenience store in Greenville. The company now operates more than 90 convenience stores across the Carolinas.

RaceTrac enters uncharted territory with its Potbelly acquisition

The Bottom Line: There has never been a purchase of a restaurant chain the size of the sandwich brand Potbelly by a convenience-store chain. History suggests it could be a difficult road.

Wondering about Wonder

Marc Lore's food startup is combining c-stores, restaurants, meal kits and delivery into a single "mealtime platform." Can it be greater than the sum of its parts?

Technology/Services

Most 7-Eleven rewards members use self-checkout but few use it every time

Faster transactions, shorter lines and ease of use drive interest, age-restricted items and technical issues still pose barriers
