(Newswire.net — February 26, 2014) Windsor, CT —
Between Rounds, a unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut has recently announced a new Gas Station and Convenience Market Division to cater to gas station/convenience store owners interested in offering Between Rounds fresh bagels, baked goods, sandwiches and gourmet coffees at affordable prices.
Between Rounds franchised their first non-traditional gas station/convenience store model in Tolland in February 2013. That successful franchise, owned and operated by Sami Kahn, is located at 206 Merrow Road, at the Citgo Express Gas Station. Between Rounds is currently seeking gas station/convenience store “creative partners” to develop unique designs and arrangements throughout New England.
The business model enables gas station/convenience store owners to increase profits from their existing location through repeat customers who not only purchase gas but also Between Rounds specialty coffee, fresh made breakfast and lunch sandwiches, fresh baked bagels and assorted bakery items. Ultimately, store traffic increases and leads to additional sales from products that are already sold.
According to Between Rounds founder and franchisor Jerry Puiia, “We have directly competed, yet coexisted, with Dunkin Donuts and Subway for more than 22 years. Our reputation for offering fresh, high quality food at affordable prices is key, and when coupled with a lower entry point for the potential franchisee, it’s a win.”
He continued, “The Between Rounds gas station/convenience store franchise opportunity has low start-up costs compared to similar franchises, and utility and facility maintenance costs are only minimally increased. Best of all, we make it easy to operate and train existing staff using our detailed training guides and checklists. Not only does an owner enjoy additional profits from their existing location…all those profits from increased sales stay in the owner’s pocket.”
