This new prototype designed store will focus on new equipment and new food offerings, all designed to edify the customer convenience and offer an expanded menu that will challenge restaurants with both quality and price according to Johnson.
Cumberland Farms CEO Ari Haseotes  Stated "We are excited to introduce the future of Cumberland Farms to Titusville, FL …. "We currently operate 14 stores across Brevard County and have plans to expand in Florida over the next several years. We hope our self-service ordering terminals make us even more convenient and that customers enjoy our new food and beverage offerings." This new 5,000-square-foot location offers several new food and beverage menu items that Cumberland Farms had not previously offered.
The new items include beverages the ilk of smoothies, frozen espresso and milkshakes are available, along with specialty coffee drinks, including espresso, cappuccino and lattes.
