Which baked products do you think convenience stores should sell?

Convenience stores are known for their snacks. If you take a pit stop on a road trip and aren’t craving chips or candies, you’re not alone. Many would prefer a baked good option at convenience stores. Some of our readers had ideas about what baked goods they think belong in convenience stores. What baked goods would you add to this list?

Pre-made Muffins, Cupcakes, Cookies, or Cake Pops

Convenience stores are great places to sell baked goods. It’s a convenient location, and the cost of overhead is low. The main challenge is that most baked goods are not easy to sell because they’re not as shelf-stable as other products like soda or candy.

You could sell cookies, muffins, and cake pops in refrigerated cases at convenience stores. But you’d probably want to put them on display where people can see them when they walk in the door.

You could also do pre-made bags of muffins or cupcakes in bulk and sell them by the dozen or by the case. Or you could sell pre-made cakes like wedding cakes or birthday cakes by the slice with different frosting flavors and designs on each slice.

Gluten-Free Muffins

Convenience stores should sell gluten-free muffins. It’s a real bummer for anyone who has food sensitivities to travel at times because they can almost never find anything that they can actually eat. If convenience stores sold gluten-free muffins, people who have food sensitivities could find something easy to eat, not to mention how delicious they are!
