Convenience stores want to conquer fast-food restaurants

At the c-store industry's biggest annual trade show, retailers and suppliers talked about upping their foodservice game to beat QSRs. With items like couscous and spanikopita on the menu, they just might do it.

Maggie's raised $2 million in early funding, and owner Alex Canter, who founded (and sold) virtual restaurant company Nextbite, is readying a high-end, curated foodservice experience.

In the U.S., Dublin-based Applegreen said it will focus on building larger travel plazas where food is "at the heart of the offer." The retailer operates brands including Burger King, Shake Shack, Starbucks and more.
