Loyalty is on every brand's roadmap for 2026, but it is easy to spend a fortune chasing the app and miss what actually drives results. On our recent Commerce Corner episode, Peter Rasmussen, Founder and CEO of Convenience and Energy Advisors, reframes what a loyalty program really is.

Peter walks through the questions that matter and explains that the real value is the customer data you collect and how you use it. Data shows that loyalty members spend 18% to 30% more, and that lift runs even higher for brands that are heavy on to***co. The app matters, but the data is what pays off.

We are honored to share that Lula Commerce has been named Technology Startup of the Year at the 34th Annual PACT Ecosystem Awards. 🎉

The Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT), recognized this year's winners on May 19 for the work they are doing to advance technology and innovation across the Greater Philadelphia region.

Lula started by going store to store in Philadelphia, helping local convenience retailers get online for the first time. Today we support more than 2,000 retail locations across 44 states, and the goal is still the same. We want independent and regional operators to have the same digital tools the largest chains have, without the cost or the complexity.

Thank you to PACT for the recognition, to our team for the work behind it, and most of all to the retailers who trust us to help grow their business online.

Banking apps are quietly turning into a loyalty layer in fuel retail, and it is happening faster than most operators realize. On our recent Commerce Corner episode, Peter Rasmussen, Founder and CEO of Convenience and Energy Advisors, explains what that means for c-stores.

Chime is now the largest digital bank in the country at roughly 25 million users, and it has started running fuel and QSR offers right inside the app. A customer can claim discounts on fuel and other items but only if they pay with their Chime card. That closed loop builds loyalty that sits outside your own brand. Peter's advice to operators is to decide now whether they want to work alongside platforms like this or risk being left out of the conversation.

In today’s episode of the Commerce Corner podcast, Peter Rasmussen, Founder and CEO of Convenience and Energy Advisors shares why food service has become a survival question for c-store operators.

Convenience stores still have a real advantage when fuel prices spike. People need to fill their tanks and a c-store with a competitive food offer becomes more compelling than a QSR. Peter references that combustible cigarette declines are not being offset by lower frequency v**e and OTP purchases, and retailers need to look elsewhere for growth or risk a potential slow death.

double kwik, a family-owned convenience chain with 40+ locations across eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia, has launched branded online ordering through Lula Direct!

Known for their homestyle meals and fresh food program, double kwik has been a go-to in their for years. Now customers can browse the full store menu, place orders online, and earn rewards points, all through a branded digital storefront that keeps the double kwik experience front and center.

This is what first-party digital commerce looks like for regional convenience brands: the retailer owns the customer relationship, controls the brand, and keeps the data. No third-party middleman between the store and the customer.

We're excited to help double kwik bring their food-first reputation to the digital channel. Read more: https://www.lulacommerce.com/lulacontent/double-kwik-launches-branded-online-ordering-powered-by-lula-direct

The Retail Media Network Forum runs May 4-6 and brings together operators from a wide range of regional convenience, dollar, drug, liquor, and specialty chains who are building and scaling retail media networks inside their organizations.

Our Director of Sales, Steve Siegel, will be at the conference focused on how digital ordering, in-store screens, and loyalty data come together as connected revenue surfaces in small-format retail, and where we see the category heading next.

Lula is also co-hosting a happy hour with Shep Digital at this year's event! 🍻 The happy hour is Tuesday, May 5 from 7-9 PM at Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch. RSVP here: https://www.lulacommerce.com/retail-media-network-forum-happy-hour-2026
