Umbukiso we-NACS 2025 uzoba ngoLwesihlanu eMcCormick Convention Center eChicago. Ihholo lombukiso lihlanganisa indawo engaphezu kwamamitha-skwele angu-430,000.
Kulo nyaka, i-NACS igxila kakhulu ekukhangiseni okuthengiswayo. Abathengisi bezobuchwepheshe badlula izikrini zendabuko, behlola izindawo ezisebenzayo ezifana nokuzikhokhela, ama-kiosk okudla, ama-ATM, kanye nezinkomba zesimo se-oda. Ifilosofi yabo iwukusebenzisa kahle yonke indawo esitolo.
Isibonelo, iBrinks, enendlunkulu eRichmond, eVirginia, ibonise ama-ATM ahlonyiswe ngezibonisi zedijithali ezingahlelwa ukuze kukhangiswe okuqondiwe. I-Altaine eseLondon ihlanganisa ukukhangisa kokuthengisa kusofthiwe yayo yokudlela, isebenzisa izinhlelo zokuzisiza kanye nezibonisi zenqubekela phambili yokuhleleka ezisebenzisanayo njengezinkundla ezintsha zokukhangisa. Okwamanje, i-GSTV eseDetroit iguqula imodeli yayo yebhizinisi ngokubambisana nezinkampani ezifana neCasey's ukuze idlulele ngale kokukhangisa kwamavidiyo okuvamile futhi idale inethiwekhi yemidiya yokuthengisa eyinkimbinkimbi.
Naphezu kwezinga eliphansi lokubhema ngokomlando, ukuthengiswa kwezindlela zokubhema ezingenantuthu, okuhlanganisa nezikhwama ze-nicotine, kuyakhula, futhi le mikhiqizo yavezwa kakhulu embukisweni wezohwebo we-NACS. Ngokusho kombiko we-NACS 2024 State of the Industry, isilinganiso sokuthengiswa kwezindlela zokubhema ezingenantuthu safinyelela ku-$19,663 esitolo ngasinye ngenyanga ngo-2024, ukwanda ngo-7% kusukela ngo-2023.
“Igebe lenzuzo phakathi kukagwayi neminye imikhiqizo kagwayi liyancipha,” kusho u-Emma Tainter, umphathi wokuhlaziya kanye nocwaningo lwezinhlelo kwa-NACS, engqungqutheleni yezemfundo ethi “Ukushintsha Kwesimo Semboni Kagwayi kanye Nogwayi Kagesi” ngoLwesibili.
UJessica Starnes (CLMP), umqondisi wezinhlelo zokwethembeka kanye nomphathi wesigaba sikagwayi kwaWeigels Inc., uthe engqungqutheleni yezemfundo ngoLwesibili ukuthi umthengisi osePowell, eTennessee “wandise indawo yakhe yokubeka ishelufu ukuze abe yindawo abantu abaya kuyo ukuyothenga amaphakethe e-nicotine.”
Izinhlobonhlobo zezimpahla ezincane ezilula ukuzithwala zaziboniswa embukisweni we-NACS. Le mikhiqizo yayihlukahluka ngobukhulu, ukunambitheka, kanye nesitayela, futhi yayitholakala kokubili emaphaketheni asongiwe kanye nangamaphakethe asongiwe ngamanye. I-Rich Products yaseBuffalo, eNew York, yethule ama-donuts ayo amasha e-Microbite anambitheka ngamajikijolo noshokoledi. Baphinde banikeza ama-cinnamon rolls. I-Irresistible Food Groups yaseTorrance, eCalifornia, yethule umugqa we-Killer Brownie, okuhlanganisa inhlanganisela ye-brownie ne-brownie-cookie. I-Ditsch yaseCincinnati, e-Ohio, ithengise ama-pretzel anomklamo onelungelo lobunikazi ogcine ukunambitheka kwakudala kanye nokuthungwa kwama-pretzel athambile aseBavarian. I-Talerico Bakery yaseSummit, e-Illinois, ithengise amabhola e-donut anambitheka ahlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa i-blueberry yakudala, ushokoledi, ne-cherry, kanye ne-donut powder. Ekugcineni, i-Bon Appetit, inkampani eseVernon, eCalifornia, ikhiphe umugqa wama-donuts amnandi athengiswa ngamaphakethe ayisithupha. Enye yalezi zinambitheka kwakuyi-strawberry cheesecake.
Kwa-NACS, imikhiqizo yamaprotheni yayiboniswa ngezindlela ezahlukene, kusukela kumabha wamandla namanzi amaprotheni kuya kuma-cookie amaprotheni. I-Kind Protein Max yethule ukunambitheka okusha—i-raspberry chocolate crisp—equkethe amagremu angu-20 eprotheni kanye negremu eli-1 likashukela ngokuphakelwa ngakunye. Isiphuzo samaprotheni esiphansi se-Bucked Up siqukethe amagremu angu-25 eprotheni ngethini lama-ounce angu-16 futhi sitholakala ngokunambitheka kwamaswidi ebhanana-uphayinaphu, i-peach-mango, kanye ne-rainbow. I-Anderson's Crazy Candy ikhiphe ikhukhi leprotheni elibizwa ngokuthi i-Crazy Protein, eliqukethe amagremu angu-20 eprotheni ngekhukhi ngakunye. I-Granbia yethule i-Isopure, amanzi amasha eprotheni aqukethe amagremu angu-15 eprotheni ngebhodlela lama-ounce angu-20. Uhlu luyaqhubeka. UCircana uthe lo mkhuba uqhutshwa ukusetshenziswa kwemithi yokwehlisa isisindo evimbela i-GLP-1.
Ngenxa yokusekelwa amalungu ethu, singakwazi ukumboza izindaba. Yiba yilungu le-CSP manje futhi uthole ukufinyelela ezinzuzweni ezikhethekile, okuhlanganisa ukufinyelela okungenamkhawulo kukho konke okuqukethwe. Chofoza lapha ukuze ubhalise.
Thola ulwazi olubalulekile embonini yezitolo ezithengisa izinto ezisebenziseka kalula namuhla. Bhalisela izaziso ze-SMS ezivela ku-CSP ukuze uhlale usesikhathini ngezindaba nokuhlaziya okubalulekile kumkhiqizo wakho.
Isiphetho: Izitolo ezithengisa izinto ezilula azikaze zithole izitolo zokudlela ezisezingeni le-Potbelly. Okuhlangenwe nakho komlando kusikisela ukuthi lokhu kungaba yinselele.
Inkampani entsha yokudla kaMarc Lore ihlanganisa izitolo ezithengisa ukudla okulula, izindawo zokudlela, ama-kit okudla, kanye nezinsizakalo zokulethwa kwezimpahla zibe “ipulatifomu yokudla” eyodwa. Ingabe ingaba nkulu kunesamba sezingxenye zayo?
Isivinini sokuthengiselana esisheshayo, izikhathi zokulinda ezincishisiwe, kanye nokulula kokusetshenziswa kuye kwadonsela ukunaka kwabathengi, kodwa imikhawulo yobudala, ukutholakala komkhiqizo, kanye nezinkinga zobuchwepheshe kusalokhu kuyizithiyo.
Thola ulwazi olubalulekile embonini yezitolo ezithengisa izinto ezisebenziseka kalula namuhla. Bhalisela izaziso ze-SMS ezivela ku-CSP ukuze uhlale usesikhathini ngezindaba nokuhlaziya okubalulekile kumkhiqizo wakho.
Uhlu lwe-CSP lwe-“Top 202 Convenience Store Companies” luchaza ngemininingwane iziteshi zezitolo ezinkulu kakhulu ezingu-202 kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwazo okubaluleke kakhulu kanye nokuthengwa kwazo ngonyaka odlule. Ukuze uthole ukuqonda okujulile ngemboni yezitolo ezinkulu, chofoza lapha ukuze ubuke uhlu lweziteshi ezinkulu ezingu-202.
Ukusebenza kokuthengisa ezigabeni zeziphuzo, amaswidi, izimpahla ezijwayelekile, ukudla okupakishiwe/isevisi yokudla, kanye nokudla okulula.
