T-Flex™ Coin Dispensers Help Rutter's Put The 'Convenience' Back In Convenience Stores

By Telequip Corporation

Rutter's Farm Stores are not your typical convenience stores. At each of its 54 locations throughout Pennsylvania, Rutter's features a robust, extensive food service offering. Including in-store wok cooking where customers can order Chinese or Mexican dishes, depending on the time of day. Touch-free restrooms were developed by professional bathroom designers. Even the size of the stores – about 5300 square feet – puts them in a class by themselves. All of this translates to an average sales ticket that is quite a bit higher than the norm for the convenience store industry.

Despite the amenities, Rutter's stores are exactly like most convenience stores in a very fundamental way: they are selling convenience. Regardless of size or the breadth of its product lines, a well-run convenience store allows customers to make purchases quickly and go on their way, barely breaking stride from their daily routine.
