WINSTON-SALEM, NC / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Balancing vendor preferences with merchandising realities is an everyday challenge in C-store environments. As Quality Mart discovered, it’s also a significant opportunity to build sales.
Quality Mart began its transformation journey with a seemingly simple challenge: address beverage clutter on the perimeter of the story. “I wanted a beverage solution that would consolidate take-home packages plus two-liter bottles,” said Mike Roscoe, Quality Mart’s director of merchandising and category management. Concurrently, Roscoe was seeking out new center store solutions, including gondolas, cold vault, and beer cave racking, for a planned store remodel.
What Roscoe found was a limited selection of beverage display options, along with lengthy delays on new center store fixtures. In addition, he had concerns about the quality of the products. Out of curiosity, Roscoe reached out to ImageWorks Display®, his trusted provider of back bar solutions. What he found surprised him. “I started talking with ImageWorks about my need for beverage racking. Then I saw they had center store fixtures as well.”
Roscoe’s initial outreach jump-started a collaborative process tightly focused on his specific situation. He scheduled a session with the ImageWorks team at their Winston-Salem, NC, Client Collaboration Center to share additional insights on what he was seeking. The ImageWorks team responded with a customized plan tapping the company’s Planniq Strong® beer cave racking, Planniq Core® and Planniq Tech® gondola systems, and new Planniq Chill® cooler racking lines. The new design consolidated beverage options in one streamlined, shopper-friendly design while reducing Quality Mart’s overall beverage footprint. New gondola and cooler fixtures perfectly coordinated with the beverage solution to create a cohesive and elevated shopper experience.
“It looks like a new store,” Roscoe said. He was so pleased with the resulting store reconfiguration – and the ImageWorks process — that he ordered other displays for additional locations. “ImageWorks team members are absolute professionals,” said Roscoe. “They pay great attention to detail, and they were incredibly courteous to my store staff. I’m really excited to see where they go.”
