Whether road-tripping to a beachside getaway or just fueling up between kids’ soccer games, there's one place Americans flock to in the summer: convenience stores. From cold drinks and ice cream to hot snacks and ready-to-eat meals, c-stores have become an essential stop for on-the-go indulgence. Now, thanks to the addition of hot, ready-to-go pizza as a must-have, operators have a golden opportunity to turn casual stops into high-margin foodservice sales, thanks to LloydPans.

C-Stores Rising Fast
As c-store operators look for ways to drive in-store sales and improve margins, foodservice continues to be a standout opportunity—but only if slices come fast, hot and consistent. Data from 2025 underscores why this is more important than ever. According to NACS, the U.S. had 152,255 c-stores at the end of 2024, holding steady even amid economic shifts. Meanwhile, foodservice continues to rise, with Mintel projecting U.S. c-store foodservice sales will hit $72.5 billion in 2025, up more than 11% year over year. Even more telling: 72% of consumers now view c-stores as legitimate alternatives to quick-service restaurants, a major jump from 56% in 2024.

LloydPans Delivers Perfect Slice
LloydPans is a proud partner in this growth. Our pizza pans are featured in more than 24,400 locations across the five largest U.S. convenience store chains: 7-Eleven, Alimentation Couche-Tard, Speedway, Casey’s and EG America. These operators rely on LloydPans not only for our extensive product offerings but also for our reliability, speed and sustainable U.S. manufacturing.

Take Casey’s, for example. After launching new pizza slice and breakfast offerings in 2021, the company saw a 21% increase in pizza slice sales in Q4 2022 alone. That success story speaks directly to the power of pairing high-quality foodservice programs with the right pans.
