At KPS Global today, we're partnering with our retail customers to ultimately help them work through and navigate the complicated waters that they're facing when it comes to online ordering and store pickup or curbside pickup. Consumers are pushing our retail customers to change the way that they do business. With these changing consumer needs, our customers have to meet their demand for refrigerated and frozen products. At KPS Global, we're the expert when it comes to refrigerated and frozen perishable good storage. We're working with our customers along with other non traditional partners to meet their changing consumer needs. Some of those are very sophisticated, including robotics. To the very simple click and collect, where they're storing the customers' groceries in a backroom, and of our walk ins and they simply drive up and have it delivered to their car. We're able to offer complete turnkey offering to our customers, and we do all the engineering, we do the man action, the product will deliver the product. We will install the product and we will service the product for our customers. Many retailers do not know what the first step to take is when implementing an online grocery program as it relates to cold storage. So the first step is to understand there's no right or wrong answer at this particular stage. What we've been working on is making sure that from small mom and pops all the way up to the the giant big box retailers that there's opportunity across the board for each group. There's ways to do this effectively, efficiently. So there is a very broad spectrum when it comes to online fulfillment opportunities. And then you can take that a step further where there are customers that are actually putting automated facilities right in the backroom of their markets. There's also customers that are opening up their own online fulfillment facilities that are completely off-site. And that's the fun part of this is we don't know where this ultimately gonna end up. Not only can we work directly with our traditional customers, but we're having the opportunity to partner up with new folks that are in this business that are driving these new technologies. So at one end of the spectrum, you have fully automated picking facilities. The reality is is that There is not a one size fits all. KPS Global is now further involved in the design side simply because putting our products with the technology for customers that have never integrated any of these aspects is a totally new endeavor. So we have to collaborate, work together, find the best way to not only build the product, but install the product properly that fits specific customer needs, So KPS Global fits in a number of different ways into these storage solutions. Number one, our product is very flexible. We can span large distances, product is both indoors and outdoors. So ultimately, we're able to meet the flexibility needs that a retailer has when rolling out these programs. Today, we're seeing many of our retailers attack this online ordering and curbside pickup in a number of different ways. All the way from a very, very basic walk in cooler or freezer that they might have at the front of the store to extraordinarily sophisticated storage systems that are now introducing robotics in inside of those walking coolers and freezers. KPS global fits in very nicely whether it's a retailer attempting to have a small walk in box at the front of the stores. We have the ability to scale up very, very rapidly for retailer one to roll out a program across their store footprint, and because of the fact that we have five manufacturing locations across the United States. And so ultimately, we have the capacity to be able to meet demand, but additionally have the ability to help them roll these programs out very, very quickly.

Fuel-selling convenience stores hit an eight-year high even as total count slips

Fuel-selling convenience stores hit an eight-year high even as total count slips

NACS and NIQ TDLinx put the 2026 U.S. convenience-store count at 151,975 locations, down 280 stores. Fuel-selling stores rose to 122,620, the highest in eight years. For operators, the data sharpens where forecourt uptime, fuel margins, and foodservice investments matter most by state and ownership scale.

  • 01A flat national store count can still mean more forecourts to run: fuel-selling locations grew 768 sites even as total c-stores fell 280, per NACS.
  • 02State variation is the real planning variable: Texas alone has 16,504 stores while Alaska has 185, and New York saw the biggest decline (-143), per NACS.
  • 03Ownership mix drives vendor go-to-market: 63% of stores sit with operators at 10 or fewer locations, a reminder that ‘enterprise’ rollouts must work for small fleets too, per NACS.
