Chain Drugstore Daily Sunday, August 26, 2018 5 0 Graffco: Pioneers in Pre-owned Pumps, Dispensers By Daniel M. Graff, President, Graffco, Inc. Graffco offers an alternative to brand- new pumps that allows distributors to save up to approximately 50 percent over new. These units are late model Gilbarco Encores and Wayne Ovations in used condition, island tested or completely reconditioned. We currently have a limit- ed number of Gilbarco Flex Pay II kits that are upgradeable for EMV in 2020. Other products Graffco offers are rebuilt electronic boards for the dispensers, replacement stainless steel, rebuilt POS equipment and rebuilt tank monitoring equipment. Visit our new E-Commerce section on our website to see all that Graffco has to offer. Our customers are a lot of distribu- tors who will resell our equipment to smaller oil companies that can't afford new. We cater to the smaller marketer, but we still can handle doing special things for the bigger ones. For instance, we have a "hit pump" program that includes a fast turnaround time for stations who need a pump rebuilt. One com- pany that takes advantage of this program is 7-11. Many marketers are actually "waiting to see" what is going to be the answer for EMV in 2020. They have spent a ton of money in the last couple of years doing some upgrad- ing but they are watching their pennies for a while on other upgrades. We recom- mend that they purchase only equipment that is upgradeable in the future to EMV replacing older equipment such as the older Encores, Vistas, etc. We can supply this niche market with quality used pumps and reconditioned pumps. With the reputation we've earned through the years of doing business, we continue to supply a niche market with quality used and reconditioned pumps. If you are search- ing for an affordable solution to new petroleum equipment, then why not give us a try. We stand by everything we sell, and everyone in the petroleum industry knows that.

Cookies United Introduces Bake Shop Bites Cookies United is changing the grab and go snacking category with its new line of Bake Shop Bites. Cookies United has been baking delicious bakery products for more than 50 years. With the ever- changing retail and buying trends of the population, the company knew it had to evolve its product line. Instead of re-cre- ating its already amazingly delicious products, it changed how it now offers them … and the Bake Shop Bites line was born! Bake Shop Bites are individually packaged twin packs. These are not your average chocolate chip cookies. The Bake Shop Bites are some of the compa- ny's most beloved, delectable recipes. The Macaroon is nothing short of an amazing thing to bite into – lightly crispy outside with a moist coconut bite on the inside, and of course it's dipped and driz- zled in dark chocolate. The Peanutter is for the peanut butter lover in all of us – a crispy vanilla cookie shell filled with smooth peanut butter, enrobed in choco- late and topped with real diced peanut chunks. The Brownie is like no brownie you have ever had before – a deliciously moist chocolate brownie enrobed in even more choco- late and finished with crushed brownie crumbs. The "S" Cookie is the com- pany's take on a classic Italian breakfast cookie with a new chocolate drizzled twist. All Bake Shop Bites come with two pieces in each package, making the package not just ready to go, but portion control perfec- tion. The Bake Shop Bites package design has gotten rave reviews. They all have a distinctly recognizable white color palette and a homemade feel to pay homage back to the classic bakeries these prod- ucts originally came from. The days of having to go to your local bakery for quality bakery products are over. Bake Shop Bites brings the bakery on the go in your busy life.

Greek and Mediterranean Solutions for C-Stores Mediterranean cuisine is thriving in restaurants today and was forecast to be one of the most influential regional cuisines for 2017, and Greek street food was recently named one of the latest crazes to hit the fast-casual segment – indicating the time is right for conven- ience stores to get more familiar with this trending ethnic option. The growing pop- ularity of Greek and Mediterranean items, especially with Millennials and Gen Z, makes these foods exciting growth opportunities for c-stores. "This is a great time for Greek and Mediterranean foods and flavors in the U.S.," declares Catherine Porter, Grecian Delight Director of Foodservice Marketing. "We are seeing a wave of new Mediterranean concept restaurants, plus the penetration of these flavors across mainstream menus." Sauces are a great way to introduce Greek and Mediterranean flavors to a menu. "For convenience stores, we see opportunities to bring Mediterranean flair to sandwich programs with sauce options like a Four Pepper Cilantro, Tzatziki or even a Feisty Feta spread," stated Porter. Many restaurants are using hummus in sandwiches and wraps as a protein for vegetarian offerings, an alter- native to mayonnaise or as a double pro- tein hit to deli sandwiches. Pitas and flatbreads can also bring Greek and Mediterranean flair to menu offerings. Porter noted that "gourmet breads have long been the way to upscale sandwich offerings or provide a new spin." These Mediterranean bread carri- ers have a strong presence in many lead- ing quick serve restaurants across breakfast and lunch items. For grab-and-go foodservice needs, Grecian Delight is showcasing Hummus Plus with Chicken snack packs and Opaa! pre-cooked, individually wrapped gyro sandwiches. Available in three delicious flavor combinations, Hummus Plus is the first and only hummus-based snack paired with fresh chicken. This snack pack com- bines great taste, convenience and high- protein ingredients, along with a utensil and napkin inside. David Gacom, Hummus Plus Vice President Sales and Marketing, notes that "these perfectly sized 4-ounce containers make Hummus Plus a great snacking option for today's on-the-go consumer looking for a better- for-you offering." While Hummus Plus is the perfect Mediterranean snack- ing solution, Opaa! gyro sandwiches are the authentic, interna- tional street food that consumers crave. Heat and eat gyro sandwich- es are a substantial 7.35-ounce portion size for a truly satis- fying meal. They are available in two protein options and come complete with a soft pita and sauce packet. Both are ready from the microwave in under two minutes. Grecian Delight, A Pure Mediterranean Foods Company, brings the very best of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with products including gyros and specialty meats, pitas and flatbreads, tzatziki, hummus and spreads, falafel and additional Mediterranean specialties.

WEH Particle Filters for Safe CNG and H2 Refueling Filtering CNG and hydrogen used for refueling is essential for the proper func- tioning of components, both for vehicles and fueling stations. Build-up of residues, such as oil or metal shavings, can have a negative influence on fittings and valves and even result in damage and leakages. The new WEH ® TSF2 and TSF4 particle filters have been specially designed to remove such particles from the gas flow. Having a high particle retention, they filter the gas flow and reli- ably and securely remove those particles contaminating the gas. With integrated filter elements ranging from 1 to 40 micron, the particle filter protects your refueling components, such as fueling nozzles, receptacles, check valves, cylin- der valves and gas pressure regulator from the dirt found in the gas stream. All filters are constructed of high-quality materials and either have a filter cartridge that can be cleaned easily and used again or a replaceable filter cartridge. They are easy to maintain and can also be retrofit- ted to fueling stations and vehicles. The WEH filters ensure well filtered CNG and hydrogen which will enhance service life of refueling components and reduce maintenance cost. The filters are available in different sizes and ver- sions. The range of products covers coa- lescing filters for high pressure use up to 390 bar and for retaining particles from 0.3 to 1 micron. The gas flows through the filter and those particles being slower, such as oil, water and other liquid aerosols form drops sinking to the bot- tom of the filter where they are drained via the oil outlet. These filters feature ease of maintenance and have an integrated fine fil- ter for particle retention. All WEH CNG and hydro- gen filters have been designed especially for installation in cars, buses, trucks and fueling stations and are highly efficient (efficiency rate of 99 percent for 0.3 micron particles). They have CE marking and are in compliance with the Pressure Equipment Directive PED and have the ECE R110 approval for installation in CNG fueled vehicles. For more information, go to www.weh.us.
