The goods are well arranged inside the store either on the shelves or on the ground make approaching them by the clients more convenient.

or

If the store is of mega type, it may determine some limited and scattered locations for providing a short rest for the clients if needed.

Reference: Convenience store

Reference information:
Convenience store
A convenience store is a small store typically selling soft drinks, lottery tickets, newspapers, candy, ice cream, maps, beer, prepackaged foods like sandwiches and frozen burritoss, shaving cream and other hygiene products. Many gas stations now also operate convenience stores, often converting their service areas from auto repair to retail. In addition, some convenience stores supplement their businesses by operating gas stations, often selling gasoline at lower prices to lure in customers. Train stations also often have a convenience store.

Prices in a convenience store are typically higher than at a supermarket, mass merchandise store (e.g. Wal-Mart), or auto supply store; in the United States, the stores will sometimes be the only stores near an interstate highway exit where drivers can buy any kind of food.
