New c-store formats have made plenty of headlines this year. 

We’ve seen Rutter’s unveil a new prototype in May, then use that design for its first site in Virginia. Parker’s, Stinker Stores and Yatco all debuted their largest stores to date in just the past few months. And Wawa has made waves with many unique formats, including a pre-fabricated drive-thru and its first travel center. 

C-store retailers have been reimagining themselves or reworking their spaces to better display what makes them unique, from cozier atmospheres and bigger kitchens to more open space and new finishes. 

This fall, C-Store Dive took a look at these exciting developments and highlighted several particularly interesting store format and design trends. We also explored what’s driving these updates, from new competitive dynamics to the evolving consumer.
