Store Design

Store design is crucial to a seamless customer experience. Our team is constantly reevaluating current sites and rebuilding to stay up-to-date. We understand placement is everything and we are available to help plan the in-store layout of things like the coffee bar, registers, and container drink coolers.

Site Selection

Clifford Fuel is regularly assessing properties for potential sites. Among other aspects, the surrounding areas and traffic patterns are researched extensively to estimate the potential success of a location. Need assistance with knowing where to start or just looking for a second opinion? Our team is ready to help.
