10 Improvements for Grocery Stores

1. Have an app that contains an updated map of the store.
• This would then decrease the amount of time spent walking around the store.
• It would likely end up with fewer chips bought
2. Have a band playing
• This would just be a fun thing to have
3. Have phone scanning system to make purchasing easier
• When you scan something, it would be charged to your account and then you could leave without going to the checkout
4. Make deals with food banks to pick up old stock
• I think this exists in some places, but it should be everywhere
5. Have stations where items can be searched
• It would be able to tell you if it is in stock and where to find it
6. Have a recipe book at the front
• It would have all the ingredients and the place to find them in the store
7. Have more self checkouts
• I like to leave places as fast as possible
8. Scan item and see reviews
• I am guessing there is already an app for that
9. Have suggested recipes for each product when scanned with phone
• There might be an app for this too
10. Have a chef giving demonstrations on how to cook things
• This would be good for starving students who can not cook. They could finally learn.

10 Improvements For 7-11

1. Have skeleton locations
• I imagine these locations would offer mostly the chicken and some of the drinks and chips. It would be about half the size of a regular 7-11.
• I want this because I live in a small town without a 7-11
2. More meal combos
• It would be nice to save money when ordering new foods
3. Eating area
• Then people could just eat at the store and might even buy more food.
4. Drive through gas and coffee
• This would be pretty fancy for 7-11, but it would be awesome.
5. Have more to go mugs
• I am talking about the ones that can be bought at the counter
• Whenever I want one I cannot find the one I want
6. Have insulated meal containers for sale
• This would be good for those who want to keep their chicken warm for longer
7. Have news scrolls around the building
• This would free up space where the newspapers are located
• No one actually buys the newspapers anyways
8. Scan newspapers and have it loaded directly to Google account
• This would make the newspaper stand have some purpose, but it could be replaced with a list of barcodes to choose from
9. Make it an Amazon pick-up location
• I just learned about these and think all convenience stores should think about it
• It would drive in a lot more traffic and would not take too much work
10. Have the location and meeting times of different groups
• This would be nice for those who travel and want to participate in various communities.
