What can a convenience store do with large plastic containers?

 

 

Large plastic containers make perfect display tools for your convenience store. Use them any time you have small merchandise that you need to display.

 

There are several kinds of large plastic containers. Let's look at what we might do with a broad selection of candy jars, acrylic bins, plastic fish bowls, hexagon jars, and lidded canisters.

 

 

• Candy jars are made for candy, of course. Fill yours with bridge mix, toffees, mints, or nougats. Kids like Jolly Ranchers and bubblegum. Provide a scoop and some decorative paper sacks, and let people serve themselves. A shelf lined with colorful candy jars will make people feel like they're in an old-fashioned candy shop!

 

• Acrylic bins are perfect for those small items that mess up a counter top if left untended: coffee creamers and sugars, little packets of jams and jellies, stirrers, ketchup and mustard and relish packets, salt and peppers. Put several of these out near the hot dog machines and the drink dispensers.

 

• Large plastic fish bowls are just the thing for those travel-sized items that people need and often forget. Fill plastic fish bowls with combs, trial size deodorants and tooth pastes, sun tan lotion, shoes laces, children's medication, antacids, cough suppressants, and single-use boxes of laundry soap. Set these containers out on a shelf near the door, so people can find what they need fast.

 

• Hexagon jars work well on a food counter. They can hold plastic knives, forks, and spoons; salt and pepper packets; napkins; moist towelettes. Fill them non-perishable items too, like match books, packets of aspirin and other medications, trinkets and souvenirs. Hexagon jars are perfect large plastic containers, because they let people see what they're looking for and they're large enough that they don't have to be refilled too often.

 

• Lidded canisters are great for those items which shouldn't lie exposed to the air—things like peppermint sticks, beef jerky, lollipops, suckers, and sugar straws.

 

One of the great things about a convenience store is that it stocks something for everybody. You get whatever you need, whenever you need it. But precisely because convenience stores carry so much, it's often hard to find what you're looking for. Consider using large, clear plastic containers for those little things people come in to buy everyday. Your customers will be glad you did.
