Reply to comment by OptimusPhillip in Is there a special term for convenience stores that also sell pizza and sandwiches? by Saltycook

It is. That's exactly what Cumberland Farms, In and Out, or 7/11 is. Maine is just twenty years behind the curve usually, and has more surviving rural ones that haven't been paved over by big chains yet.

I just moved out of state and there's no shortage of gas station convenience stores that sell pizza, chicken and whatever. Hell, konbini are a huge deal in Japan and go all in on the food.

This is a bit of a rarity throughout New England. Like ya, Cumbies is a thing, and you'll find other spots that do this as well, but it's the minority. I found going out west or south basically every gas station can be assumed to have hot foods.

In and Out? Is that something other than a SW burger chain?
