The concept for White Bison Coffee started about five years ago driven by a need and desire by Tri Star Energy to increase food and beverage sales at its Twice Daily convenience stores. The chain has 61 locations across middle Tennessee and northern Alabama.

Despite offering a robust coffee program with a condiment bar, and releasing fresh, new menu items, the company wasn’t tracking to its food and beverage sales goals.

In fact, the operator would see customers drive onto its parking lot, fill their tanks and then drive across the street to Starbucks, noted Dawn Boulanger, vice president of marketing at Nashville-based Tri Star Energy. So, the aim became to offer a one-stop shop for quality fuel, food, and coffee and handcrafted beverages created by baristas.

Tri Star conceptualized this one-stop shop, dubbed “Twice Daily 2.0,” and solidified a partnership with a coffee vendor out of the Indianapolis market who owns his own retail stores as well as a roaster, and who travels the world to buy high-quality coffee beans and teas.

Initial plans for the integrated Twice Daily and White Bison Coffee locations were to take an existing space, build the coffee shop into the left-hand side of the store, place the checkout counter in the center of the store, and insert Twice Daily into the right-hand side of the store. From November 2017 to August 2018, 10 Twice Daily stores were built this way with White Bison Coffee integrated into them.

This store layout posed some challenges, however. Store associates felt divided, not knowing who they worked for: Twice Daily or White Bison Coffee. While Twice Daily and White Bison Coffee were intended to have separate identities, the company didn’t intend for them to be that different, Boulanger said. So, the company went back to the drawing board.

Clocking in at 4,800 square feet, Tri Star now has a new store design that more cohesively integrates the convenience and quality of a Twice Daily c-store with White Bison Coffee’s artisan coffee beverages and fresh, handcrafted café menu. The store design recently made its debut at locations in Arrington and La Vergne, Tenn., bringing the total number of integrated Twice Daily/White Bison Coffee locations to 12.

“Now, when guests walk into the store, the layout flows better and is more cohesive, while making White Bison Coffee more prominent. It kind of smacks you in the face,” Boulanger said. “It’s a nice balance between the two and is a warm and welcoming look vs. a lot of c-stores today that go for a modern industrial look where there is a lot of stainless steel and bright lights.”

On January 7 at around 10:20 p.m., Outer Banks photographer Wes Snyder captured images to create a time lapse video that had the virtual community buzzing.

What sparked such a stir was an object that viewers watched fly across the starry sky. Snyder claimed in his years of working in the field, he had never seen such a large moving object grace his images. In real time, the object could be seen for 176 seconds, or just under three minutes.

“It was faster than typical planes and much, much larger,” Snyder told The Coastland Times. “Planes look like a moving star, and this seemed to be as close as I see helicopters fly by.”
