Columbia, Mo – Moser’s, a mid-Missouri, family-owned grocery store chain, opened a newly-built supermarket in Columbia, MO on May 4th, featuring the first of its kind drive-thru Champs Chicken. The drive-thru location features an innovative double-line kitchen layout and an integrated order management system with vibrant digital drive-thru menu boards and mobile app technology.
Janice, a customer on opening day, said, “It’s so convenient! I loaded up my groceries and then I got Champs Chicken in the drive thru.”
Founder and CEO of Champs Chicken® and PFSbrands® Shawn Burcham said, “We have the full recipe for success right here with this location: a great partner in Roger Moser who has been a customer since the very beginning when he opened our very first Champs Chicken location; a great new build in a thriving city; a great team of Moser’s employees, fully supported by our professional team of trainers; and a new menu featuring our high-quality, delicious fried chicken that we’ve been serving for over 23 years, streamlined for speed.”
According to Jim Spratt, Vice President of Project Management for PFSbrands®, “The grocery store drive-thru model has been a vision of our Founder for many years. As we’ve worked in lockstep with grocery stores throughout the country for the last two decades, we’ve seen an increase in consumer demand for convenience and multiple paths to purchase… like grocery store pickup and mobile food ordering.”
Now fully constructed, that vision has come to life. Customers can purchase Champs Chicken in the grocery store at the traditional hot-case, through the drive-thru, and by ordering on the Champs Chicken app or third-party ordering apps for pick-up or delivery.
Roger Moser, owner of Moser’s, told us, “Communities will always need grocery stores and comfort food, that’ll never change. But what has changed in my forty plus years in the industry is how customers want to get it.”
