Free QuoteHow to Choose a Convenience Store Design Firm
Most c-store owners hire a design firm once or twice in a career. These are the five things worth checking before you sign, whichever firm you choose.
- 01
Convenience-store specialism
Ask how many c-stores, liquor stores and travel centers the firm has actually built. A general retail designer will not know cooler-wall depths, beer cave loads or fuel-island traffic. JayComp has built more than 2,500 since 1996.
- 02
Design and equipment under one roof
If the designer and the equipment supplier are different companies, the owner is the one left reconciling the plan with the equipment schedule. A design-build firm resolves that before anything is ordered.
- 03
Refrigeration engineering in-house
Walk-in coolers, freezers and beer caves are the most expensive, least movable items in the store. The firm should produce refrigeration calculations and power requirements, not leave them to a sub.
- 04
Built projects you can look at
Ask for finished stores, not renderings. Our case pages below show completed convenience stores, travel plazas, liquor stores and food-service builds.
- 05
Coverage where your store is
Confirm the firm works in your state and who installs on site. JayComp works across all 50 states from Ravia, Oklahoma.
Find the Service for Your Project
Start from the store you are building, who you are, or the decision in front of you. Still budgeting? Use the planning & budget center.
Design-build by store type
The store you are building decides the plan, the equipment and the refrigeration load.
- Travel centers & truck stopsA travel plaza is a convenience store, a restaurant, a restroom block and a parking plan on one lot. We plan the building around all four, then supply and install the equipment.
- Tribal enterprise storesTribal enterprises build convenience stores, travel plazas and fuel stations that serve both members and highway traffic. We design the store and supply and install the equipment, and we work within your enterprise's procurement process.
- Food service build-outsFood service changes the whole store, not just one corner. We design the kitchen, the serving line and the store around them, then supply and install the equipment.
- Small grocery & marketsA small-town grocery lives or dies on its refrigeration and its aisles. We design the floor plan and the cold chain together, then supply and install the equipment.
Who we build for
A first store, a fuel program and a 20-site rollout need different things from a design firm.
- First-time store ownersYour first store is the one where a design mistake costs the most. We walk new owners through the plan, the equipment and the install as one project, so nothing is ordered before it fits.
- Fuel jobbers & marketersFuel marketers need stores that sell more than fuel and can be built again on the next site. We design the store, the equipment package and the graphics as a standard you can repeat.
- Multi-store rolloutsBuilding or re-imaging several stores is a different job from building one. We turn your best store into a standard, then design, supply and install it site by site.
- Brand conversions & re-imagingA brand change is the best moment to fix the inside of the store. We redesign the interior to the new brand's standard, replace what needs replacing and install it.
Compare your options
The decisions owners weigh before they sign with anyone, laid out honestly.
- Design-build vs. architectThe real question is who makes sure the equipment fits the plan. Here is how the two routes compare, and why many store projects end up using both.
- Package vs. buying onlineOnline prices are real, but they price the box, not the store. Here is what a lower sticker price leaves out, and when buying online is the right call.
- Remodel vs. new buildThe building you have is either an asset or a constraint. These are the questions that decide which, before you spend on either route.

Questions About Hiring a Store Design Firm
What does a convenience store design firm do?
It plans the store before anything is built or bought: the floor plan and customer flow, the equipment package, framing, electrical and refrigeration layouts, and cabinets and shelving. A design-build firm like JayComp also supplies and installs the equipment, so the plan and the equipment schedule come from the same company.
How much does convenience store design cost?
A full convenience store design typically costs between $15,000 and $75,000+, depending on store size, complexity and whether equipment is included. A basic floor plan starts around $5,000–$10,000; a complete design-and-furnish package runs higher. Every JayComp quote is built for the specific store.
Should I hire a design-build firm or a separate designer and supplier?
On a piecemeal purchase the owner is responsible for making sure the equipment fits the floor plan, which is the risk. In a design-build package the designer and the equipment supplier are the same party, so the plan and the equipment schedule are reconciled before anything is ordered.
Does JayComp design stores outside Oklahoma and Texas?
Yes. JayComp designs, supplies and installs convenience store equipment across the country, with walk-in cooler services available in all 50 states, from its base in Ravia, Oklahoma.
Can you redesign an existing store instead of a new build?
Yes. A remodel works the same design steps against the building you already have. Shelving and cabinets often transfer if the new layout fits their dimensions; refrigeration near the end of its life usually does not, so it is assessed on age and remaining life rather than appearance.
