Bazco Oil/ChillBox grew to 41 stores in 2024, having built three new-to-industry locations and purchased another site in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The company said it continues to seek strategic opportunities for growth in 2025, with the hopes of expanding its Chillbox brand.
In terms of foodservice, some stores have a Subway franchise, Tim Hortons or Jimmy Johns. ChillBox also introduced its proprietary BirdBox concept brand in Warren, Michigan. BirdBox features made-to-order sliders, tenders and wings. Chillbox hopes to roll out the concept at several existing locations and future ground-ups.
In addition to made-to-order food, Chillbox's company-operated stores also offer several grab-and-go options that includes hot foods like pizzas, Bosco sticks, sandwiches, cookies, cheese breads, pretzels, roller-grill hot dogs, taquitos and more. The chain also offers fresh sandwiches, salads and subs delivered daily via a partnership with Fruit Ridge Farms and wholesaler S. Abraham and Sons, both based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2025.
