At Commercial Zone, we’re continually developing products that improve efficiency for our retail partners and their customers. Our innovative Avante™ Series receptacles were designed to do just that and the retailers have noticed.

We’re thrilled to announce that the Avante Series has been named the winner of the 2026 CSP Retailer’s Choice Best New Products Contest (BNPC) by Informa in the forecourt category.

Each year, this contest honors the top innovators in the convenience store space based on 29 unique categories. The BNPC award helps retailers see what’s trending based on votes given by their peers.

The Avante Series is Elevating the C-store experience

Designed with the needs of modern retail environments in mind, the Avante Series gives retailers the flexibility to build a multi-stream solution around their specific space and needs. We engineered narrow and shallow options for smaller spaces, so stores can offer all the benefits of multi-stream in a much smaller footprint. Standard size receptacles also provide greater capacity for higher-volume areas. Retailers can choose from pre-configured options or mix & match sizes to find the perfect configuration for their space.

Informative panels include descriptors and icons to simplify compliance and eliminate confusion for customers. Panels and decals can also be personalized with brand elements like colors or logos to create a solution that integrates into any retail environment.

In addition to sizes, the Avante Series offers two versatile lid options. For indoor use, choose a convenient open-top lid. For outdoor use, choose a durable canopy lid to keep contents in and the elements out.

More than receptacles, the Avante Series was designed to help retailers create more attractive, cleaner environments. It was our goal to make a versatile, stylish and modular receptacle series that maximized both space and efficiency to improve the site experience for both retailers and customers while helping divert waste from landfills.

“This award was made possible by both c-store retailers and our dedicated team of experts. By combining our industry knowledge and first-hand customer feedback, our team created a receptacle series that delivers the multi-stream flexibility retailers need with a modern design that helps their brand and space stand out. We’re honored to be selected as the winners of the Forecourt Category and hope this award helps more retailers discover Avante.”
