How C-Stores Can Seize the Opportunity Presented by Asian Cuisine’s Popularity

Convenience industry experts from Ajinomoto agree that consumers are ready for Asian favorites like potstickers, egg rolls, and more at their local c-stores. Retailers can compete against QSRs and fast-casual brands by tapping into Asian food’s appeal among Gen Z and younger consumers, as well as the social-media influencers they follow, and by innovating menu items around global flavors, portability, and versatility.
