It's interesting to see how multiple factors, like inflation, changes in consumer behavior, and declining cigarette sales, are influencing the convenience store industry. The competition between large players like 7-Eleven's parent company and Alimentation Couche-Tard adds another layer of complexity to the situation. It raises questions about how these companies will adapt to the shifting market. Do you think they’ll focus more on diversifying their product offerings or perhaps invest in more online and delivery services to stay competitive in the future?
