Ready To Start You Own Drive Thru Grocery Service? Keep The Drinks Cold And The Employees Safe

If you are thinking of opening up a small drive through grocery store where people can get in and out without having to leave their car, there are some things you want to consider when you are choosing or constructing a building. These places are gaining in popularity because the drivers can pull up, look at all of the inventory, and pick what they want without leaving their vehicle. Not all buildings will be ideal for this setup. Talk with the following professionals when you find a location or building that you like to see if the setup you desire will work in that space.

Commercial Refrigeration Expert

If you plan on having cold beverages and grocery items that have to be frozen or refrigerated, you need to have a refrigeration expert look at your property or help you design the new construction of a property. This way you can find out what will be the best options for storage throughout the building space and how you can design the layout of the products you offer when people pull in. You may want double sided coolers to make stocking easy and to store all of your excess items.

Security Consultation

There can be a lot of security concerns with a drive through convenience store, because people can easily enter the building without warning, and there isn't one main area to enter. Because of this, you want to have a high quality camera system, a panic button that allows you to call the police immediately, and other further security options. You may even want to consider having a security guard on board.

Asphalt or Concrete Contractor

Opening up the building so people can drive through will take assistance from building contractors, but you will also have to decide if you want to do asphalt or concrete throughout the building. Talk with both an asphalt and concrete contractor so you can see what will be best inside the building, what the cost will be, and what type of maintenance you'll want to perform.

Drive-thru style convenience stores are very popular because people can easily get the items that they have to pick up on the way home, without having to get out of the car. This is a quick stop for them to grab bread, milk, beer, or other items that they don't want to have to stand in line at the supermarket for. Talk with the right contractors to see how much it will cost to create this space and how soon you can get the business open.
