fireside MARKET wins CStore Decisions 2026 Best Store Design Awards
We’re proud to announce that fireside MARKET’s Slinger, Wisconsin store has been recognized with a 2026 Best Store Design Award from CStore Decisions, celebrating a location that reimagines convenience through cultural authenticity and delivers a multisensory guest experience.
The CStore Decisions 2026 Best Store Design Award recognizes retail locations that set a new standard for how convenience stores look, feel, and function—evaluated on architectural innovation, guest experience, operational efficiency, and the ability to emotionally connect with customers. Earning this award means the store isn’t just visually appealing, but intentionally designed to elevate convenience into a hospitality‑driven, experience‑forward environment that reflects both brand purpose and community values. The recognition is important because it positions the store as a national industry benchmark, signaling to consumers, partners, and peers that thoughtful design can drive loyalty, differentiation, and long‑term relevance in an increasingly competitive convenience landscape.
“Winning the CStore Decisions Best Store Design Award is incredibly meaningful for fireside MARKET because it validates our belief that convenience can be reimagined through intentional design, hospitality, and experience,” said David Lloveras, EVP of fireside MARKET. “This recognition reflects the heart and purpose behind our Slinger store—creating a warm, elevated environment that puts guests first while pushing the boundaries of what a modern convenience store can be. It’s a proud moment for our team and reinforces our commitment to raising the bar for the industry.”
With its next location slated for Brown Deer, Wisconsin, fireside MARKET is excited to continue growing in Southeast Wisconsin. Groundbreaking for the Brown Deer location will be announced at a later date.
