Case Study - Nightowl

NightOwl is a national convenience store chain. They teamed up with Choice Energy to handle electricity for dozens of stores. Their goals were to cut costs, make contracts easier to manage, and protect against rising energy prices. The result: more than $250,000 saved each year and simpler energy operations.

The Challenge

Each NightOwl store had its own energy contract. This meant higher costs, complicated paperwork, and a bigger risk from rising prices.

The Solution

Choice Energy held competitive bids to find cheaper rates, put stores on similar contracts to make things easier, and locked in fixed prices with flexible terms to reduce risk. They also gave ongoing support with regular reviews and supplier checks.

Results

NightOwl saved over $250,000 a year across more than 100 assessments. Risk dropped because of fixed prices, and energy management became simpler with Choice Energy as the single contact point.

Why this matters for Franchise Groups

NightOwl shows how franchise groups can save money by combining their buying power. They can cut risk, improve budgeting, and save time by outsourcing energy deals and monitoring to experts.

Choice Energy’s approach — tendering, negotiating, and managing energy — helped NightOwl lower costs, reduce risk, and run operations more smoothly. Other franchise groups can benefit the same way.
