PLYMOUTH, Mass. —Global Partners, owner and operator of 284 convenience stores, opened a new store concept in January. Built on the belief that consumers shouldn’t need to sacrifice healthy, fresh food choices for convenience, the Alltown Fresh c-store in Plymouth, Mass., is 4,800-square-foot and sits on a 2.3-acre lot.
Here’s a look inside the new store …
Store design was intentionally kept modern and simple. The checkout counter includes four POS positions for faster service.
Alltown Fresh’s made-to-order menu is anything but typical. It features a variety of organic and vegan options. The kitchen also offers global-inspired protein bowls and sandwiches, such as the Korean Kim Chi bowl and Veggie Palooza sandwich.
The coffee counter offers a variety of blends, as well as milk alternatives such as almond milk and coconut milk, and various sweetener alternatives. Made-to-order coffee classics such as macchiatos and lattes are also available.
Swiss-made “bean-to-cup” coffee machines offer instant brewing of small-batch, locally roasted coffee beans for fresh hot or iced coffee in single-origin blends from around the world, including Monadnock Blend, Stratton Blend and Guatemala San Marcos.
Dispensed beverages include health- and eco-conscious labels. Customers can quench their thirst with kombucha on tap, organic juices, non-GMO soda alternatives from Tractor Beverage Co., organic cane sugar, fair-trade soft drinks from Maine Root Beverages and smoothies.
Premade meals to go are available in a variety of styles, including Sweet Chili Lime Grilled Chicken and Pesto Chicken Sandwiches.
