Alltown Fresh — new c-store concept — in store expansion

Alltown Fresh is growing its fledgling footprint.

The convenience store retailer, which opened its first store in 2019, specializes in healthy food offerings, has opened a location in Schenectady, New York. Alltown’s fifth store to date, the 4,800-sq.-ft. market is designed to create a modern, farmstand-like experience. 

The new store features fresh food choices and made-to-order meals including organic, natural, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options made with locally sourced ingredients, along with an assortment of groceries and snack items.

It also features organic fair-trade coffee with locally roasted beans. The beans are pressed on-demand under five bars of pressure for maximum flavor, then brewed to guests' taste for hot or iced coffee. 
In addition, Alltown Fresh offers outdoor seating, WiFi, pet relief areas and phone charging stations.

Alltown is part of Global Partners LP, which is based in Waltham, Mass. With approximately 1,550 locations primarily in the Northeast, Global Partners is one of the region’s largest independent owners, suppliers and operators of gasoline stations and convenience stores. Stores operate under a variety of banners including Xtra Mart, Honey Farms and Jiffy Mart.

“Our core belief is that nobody should have to sacrifice healthy, fresh food options for convenience, therefore each item on our menu is carefully selected to meet the needs of our guests," said Eric Slifka, CEO of Global Partners LP. "We understand how difficult the past few months have been, and our team was quick to implement contactless ways to shop including curbside pickup of our entire menu, crates of fresh groceries, and meal prep kits.”
