Bubble gum’s news ;)

I own/run a getty station/convenience store and I want to improve the business and bring in more customers. The gas station is located ona busy intersection. We also have an empty food space, where a taco bell use to be. We have made an effort to bring in people to start something, but usually they don’t have the money to start something there or aren’t negotiable.

But lately ever since we started the “please prepay before pumping your gas or use your credit card” rule since we’ve had too many drive-offs that were costing us money, business hasn’t been doing so great ever since. Not to mention, another convenience store has opened on the same road, which is also causing us to lose customers. The only thing that brings people to that store is that they have a lottery kino and freshly-made sandwiches. Also, another getty gas station on the same road, has stolen most of our ideas and sells most of our products such as gum, candy, sandwiches, dairy, etc. at the same price or items at a lower price such as ciggerettes. So, we are really trying to improve the sales of our store/bussiness. We sell most candy bars types/flavors/companies such as Hersheys, Nestle, Snickers, fast break, etc, dairy items, candy/gum, everyday need items, sanitary items, medicine, etc.

But we would like some suggestions on what energy drinks, drinks in general, and ice cream to sell (We sell turkey hill and Ben and Jerrys), fast food items such as sandwiches, microwavable meals) that would sell and are popular or any kind of machines or products that would bring in some profit are avaliable from a wholesale dealer. Are there any machines you like to see in a store such as a slushie machine, cappuccino machine, sandwich warmer, grill etc? Or any services such as money gram/money orders, etc? Are there certain products/items you like to see in a store or that you know is popular and sells well at a store near you? Any suggestions are welcome!
Milk here for about the lowest price is $3.79

There’s already a dunkin doughnuts across our gasstation and we already sell lottery tickets, not to mention we barely get any money of that maybe a cent or two off of each ticket. But the tickets sell well.
