Reflecting on significant supply chain developments in large convenience stores from 2025.

Managing the supply chain is crucial for convenience store operations, ensuring a consistent customer experience. This year, notable developments included McLane launching a new commissary program and SpartanNash's acquisition by C&S Wholesale Grocers, which enhanced distribution capabilities. Retailers like Wawa and Love’s expanded partnerships with suppliers to improve consistency, while Alimentation Couche-Tard established new distribution centers to optimize logistics. Additionally, RaceTrac and Kwik Trip opened significant new facilities to meet regional demands, despite the closure of Casey’s JF Heritage Food Company.
