MISSION HILLS, Calif. – Gas Buddy has added healthy foods and beverages to its convenience store app,KABC-TV reports. The app also alerts users to inexpensive pump prices and clean restrooms.

“I think the perception out there is that this is where you come for sweet snacks and indulgent snacks,” said Gabi Yanuzzi, director of c-stores for G&M Oil Company. “Customers are asking for more ‘better for you’ products.”

Yanuzzi pointed out that bottled water has become the No. 1 seller over soda, and unsweetened teas, organic milk and functional beverages have more cooler space these days as customers seek healthier foods and drinks.

The Gas Buddy app shows that one Mission Hills Chevron offers seeds, nuts, jerky, high protein bars, veggie snacks, hard boiled eggs, freshly made sandwiches, salads and sushi. “Just because you’re on the road, it doesn’t mean you also need to get the hot dogs,” said Allison Mac, Gas Buddy marketing director.
