Jet Food Stores Expands Family-Friendly Initiative with Step ‘n Wash Installation
Jet Food Stores, a family-owned convenience store chain established in 1973, has announced the expansion of its partnership with Step ‘n Wash, a company specializing in innovative restroom solutions. As of July 1, the regional retailer has successfully installed Step ‘n Wash units in five additional locations, bringing the total number of Jet stores equipped with this child-friendly amenity to nine.
In today’s competitive market, the availability and cleanliness of restrooms can significantly influence customer behavior, particularly for families and travelers. The Step ‘n Wash units feature a built-in retractable step stool, enabling children to access sinks independently and safely, thereby promoting hygiene and convenience for families on the go. This addition not only enhances the restroom experience but also underscores Jet Food Stores’ commitment to meeting the diverse needs of its clientele.
Matthew Turner, Director of Food Services at Jet Food Stores, emphasized the strategic importance of creating family-oriented facilities: “Anticipating the needs of the entire family was a big part of our decision to include Step ‘n Wash in more of our stores. Implementing this system in locations with high family traffic allows us to offer our customers exceptional convenience. We are optimistic about further expanding Step ‘n Wash installations in the near future.”
Feedback from store managers and customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Robin Long, a manager at Jet Food Store, shared an anecdote illustrating the impact of the initiative: “Our customers love Step ‘n Wash — it has been a seamless addition to our restrooms. In fact, one mother mentioned that she goes out of her way to stop at my store when she has her children with her.”
The Step ‘n Wash innovation has been embraced as a crucial asset in enhancing customer experience. Jacob Fedosky, President of Step ‘n Wash, remarked on the partnership: “Jet Food Stores is an amazing convenience store partner; they don’t just talk about customer care, they show it through action. In a competitive landscape where convenience stores are vying for family dollars, the addition of Step ‘n Wash can meaningfully enhance the customer experience and foster brand loyalty.”
With 56 locations across 21 counties in central and southern Georgia, Jet Food Stores continues to prioritize family-friendly initiatives that resonate positively with their customer base. As the chain grows, the focus on accessible, clean, and accommodating facilities appears poised to set a new standard for convenience store experiences in the region.
