College students looking for a deal might be a convenience-store retailer’s next target to increase foodservice business.
Velvet Taco, for example, just started offering its college-age fans a variety of menu items priced in accordance with their budgets.
Students at campuses in Norman, Oklahoma, and Lubbock and College Station, Texas, can buy up to seven new tacos and sides for $4-$4.50, according to CSP sister publication Restaurant Business. These prices are usually between $6.15 and $8.15.
