You definitely have valuable experience to share with the interviewer! Because your most recent role was in banking and highlights many of the skills and qualifications that are required for the role you're interviewing for, consider adjusting your answer to lead with your most recent experience, then share your education and past experience. You can also enhance your response by sharing why you prefer to continue working in banking over the retail/convenience industry and what kind of role you see yourself advancing into within 3-5 years. With a wealth of experience to draw on, you can also tell the interviewer about the leadership, teamwork, and customer service skills you've gained across your career and how you see that experience relating to the role you're applying to.
