Quote:I'm curious if convenience stores sell any meaningful volume of things that aren't lottery tickets, tobacco, chips and soft drinks. I'm curious how much grocery stores selling soft drinks as loss leaders is to blame on the death of neighbourhood convenience stores, and how much reduced tobacco consumption is to blame.
Also, most supermarkets are open longer hours these days, some of them 24 hours. Being open longer hours is one of the most convenient parts of convenience stores.
