LOS ANGELES, April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Quick stop, drop in convenience stores have long been a staple of American commercialism and a major provider of consumer goods. Where super markets and grocery stores were once the primary suppliers of food items and snacks, smaller convenience stores rose to prominence to become a main player, and are now a significant provider of impulse buy products for last minute shoppers who need a faster, more streamlined shopping experience. Throughout the past several years, due to the success of the convenience store, other businesses, like major pharmacies such as CVS and Rite Aid, have embraced the c-store model to appeal to more customers which has made it more difficult for many store owners to compete. Though competition is more fierce than ever before, convenience store suppliers like LA Top Distributor work closely with their clients to help keep their profits in the black, and their doors open.

The convenience store model has become so ubiquitous that consumers have come to expect it. Today, it's difficult to find a gas station that doesn't also double as a c-store, for example. This has given consumers many more choices when looking for quick, in and out products like wholesale cigarettes. However, with increased competition, convenience store owners have a smaller slice in a market base that they previously dominated. With less of an assurance of profit, stores must rely on close coordination with their distributors and careful observation of trends in order to stay in the game.

Though many stores rely primarily on their wholesale cigarette distributors, tobacco isn't the only way for a store to maintain healthy sales. One of the most important aspects of C-Store ownership is simply keeping the right products on the shelf when customers need them the most. This requires keeping a keen eye on the item sales to know when to place orders, and which products to invest shelf floor space on. Experimenting with store layout is also important, as some products will sell better depending on their location. An engaged, hands-on approach to store ownership will create a more positive buying experience for the costumer, and is one that should be fostered and supported by an equally hands-on C-Store supplier.

The right supplier has the experience to assist an owner with current market trends and customer demand to help them make the most informed, beneficial purchase for their store. As a major supplier of C-store items in the LA area, LA Top Distributor has the resources, experience, and the inventory to help convenience store owners stay ahead of the curve, competitive, and able to sustain profits.
