Although clamoring for more healthful fare, two-fifths of consumers are pulled into c-stores by the roller grill, according to the recent “Future-Focused: Next-Level Convenience Retailing” study conducted by Technomic for CSP.
Yes, men are more likely to heed the call of the roller grill than women, but not by much (46% of men vs. 39% of women). More millennials say they’re likely to visit if roller-grill items are available (54%), vs. Gen Z (49%) and Gen X (45%); the appeal falls off for older consumers. The ability to customize roller-grill items via touch-screen ordering systems appeals to one-third (33%) of consumers; the appeal is equal for men and women and is highest among consumers ages 45 to 54. Touch two for onions.
