CST Brands to expand food service and grocery programs

SAN ANTONIO — Based in San Antonio, CST Brands is a large, independent retailer of motor fuels and convenience store merchandise in North America.

SAN ANTONIO — Kim Lubel, chairman and CEO of CST Brands Inc., announced during the company’s second-quarter 2015 earnings that CST Brands will expand its food service and grocery programs following its fall 2014 acquisition of Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes, according to CSPnet.com.

According to CST Brands’ presentation, the new Corner Store Market program will incorporate Nice N Easy synergies to “ensure great tasting food offerings across all day parts,” stated the article.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the program will be implemented into five new-to-industry (NTI) convenience store prototypes in the greater San Antonio area, reported the release.

“[The program] will enhance our food offerings in the afternoon and [evening],” said Lubel in the article. “Going forward, all of our NTIs will be built to support an expanded food program. These five test stores will give us the opportunity to do some menu testing.”

Food sales make up around one-third of the total inside sales at Nice N Easy stores, continued Lubel in the article.

Based in San Antonio, noted the article, CST Brands is a large, independent retailer of motor fuels and c-store merchandise in North America with nearly 1,900 locations throughout the Southwestern U.S and Eastern Canada.

Reaching new reclaim heights

There is a lot of variety in the carwash industry. Not only are there different types of washes, but the design, equipment, chemistry, staffing and service can greatly vary from one site to the next. However, there’s one non-negotiable constant in every wash: Water.

Since water — and lots of it — is so essential to this industry, it only makes sense to strive for ways to maximize every single drop. That’s where the reclaim process comes in. Collecting, rehabilitating and reusing as much water as possible is essential to protect the environment, the availability of resources and a carwash’s bottom line. That’s why industry leaders are currently driving innovation to find ways to reclaim even more water than ever.
