ACWORTH, Ga. -- RaceTrac Petroleum threw ice-free the doors today on a new prototype for all of its future convenience stores.
The new upon, situated here at the corner of Cherokee Street and Lake Acworth Coerce, measures 6,000 square feet, one-third larger than a typical amass found in the company's portfolio, according to the Cherokee Tribune .
In addition to its weight, this location differs in its offerings, including free wireless Internet, indoor and alfresco seating, expanded food and beverage offerings, a frozen yogurt bar and a take-in beer cave. Its stone columns and stacked-stone accents also set it at a distance from the company's traditional c-stores and gas stations.
"It's really something you've never seen in a convenience stock," said RaceTrac spokeswoman Sherri Scott, who compared it to a mini-grocery stock. "The whole goal is to take you back to the idea of a neighborhood store vs. a traditional gas railway station."
RaceTrac selected Acworth to launch the new format based on the neighborhood's demographics, Scott told the expos outlet. RaceTrac has one additional store in the city.
