Convenience Store Program

Today's consumers are busier than ever.  Continually connected to work through cell phones, on the run to bring children to school and other activities, or in a hurry to get errands done between jobs, your customers are desperately seeking to get more of the one thing they can't buy:  time.

Because gas stations are conveniently located where customers live, work, and shop, you have the opportunity to fulfill consumers' needs by having more of what they need on the run with a convenience store.

According to the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), in 2018, 79% of convenience store retailers reported increased sales during the first half of 2018 when compared to that same time period in 2017.  Additionally, NACS found that 80% of fuel in the United States is purchased from convenience store locations.

What this means is having a convenience store at your site will attract more customers to your fuel pump, and convenience store purchases are a great way to increase and diversify your revenue.

GP Energy is the proud owner of the Pinnacle 365 brand and works with other c-store brands to offer opportunities for gas station owners to expand their services for customers with a convenience store.
