In a Bold Move, MAPCO Becomes One of the First Major C-Stores to Prioritize THC Beverages on Shelves
Better Than Booze, the non-alcoholic, hemp-derived THC social beverage brand, is now available in 23 MAPCO convenience stores across Tennessee, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing evolution of what’s stocked in the refrigerated aisles of America’s C-stores.
As one of the first major regional C-store chains to commit shelf space to THC beverages, MAPCO is making a bold statement in a fast-growing, slightly controversial category. The footprint of a convenience store is notoriously limited, making every product decision count—and MAPCO choosing Better Than Booze sends a clear signal: THC is no longer taboo, it’s trending.
“We’re not just another non-alcoholic beverage,” explained Drea Groeschel, Founder and CEO of Better Than Booze. “Our drinks are infused with hemp-derived THC, giving you the buzz without the booze. Consumers are craving something different: functional, flavorful, and just a little bit rebellious. That’s exactly what we’re bringing to MAPCO.”
With flavors like Rosemary Grapefruit Paloma, Elderberry Gin & Tonic, Lemon Drop Martini and Mint Mojito with Lime, Better Than Booze delivers bar-quality taste, chill vibes and a provocative edge. This isn't just another non-alcoholic beverage option – it’s a cultural shift. As the THC beverage trend gains steam nationwide, convenience stores like MAPCO are emerging as one of the most important retail avenues for THC brands to break into.
“MAPCO has been a trailblazer by giving THC beverages a dedicated place in-store,” added Groeschel.
Now stocked in MAPCO locations across Nashville, Chattanooga, Cleveland, Gallatin, Hixson, Goodlettsville, Tullahoma and beyond, Better Than Booze is reaching consumers where it matters most: on-the-go and in everyday moments when people are looking for a better buzz.
