Parker's Future Gas Innovation
As it stands, ridesharing apps are cutting into gas station profits by diminishing the car ownership aspirations of younger generations. Furthermore, Amazon is on a quest to make modern life more convenient with quick delivery, integrating AI into our everyday lives, Dash buttons for easier re-ordering, and cashier-less Go stores. The introduction of the internet continuously changes the role of retailers worldwide.

So what does the future of convenience stores actually look like? That’s exactly what Georgia Southern students have set out to discover this semester. This fall, over 100 students from three classes, including Fashion Merchandising, Marketing, and Graphic design courses, visited 14 Parker’s convenience store locations located throughout the coastal empire. They spent hundreds of hours observing and customers in order to understand who they are and why they come to Parker’s. This was a pretty significant undertaking for these students, and they collected a vast amount of data in a short period.

Please check out the group slideshow project my classmates and I came up with to summarize our experience collecting data for Parker's.
