THIS AND THAT
“In 2015, single [convenience] stores accounted for 97,359 of the
U.S. c-store industry’s total store count of 154,195, or 63 percent of
overall stores. This represents a net increase of 1,041 stores operated by
single-store owners last year, compared to a store count increase of only
360 operated by chains of two or more stores. The average single store
generated $1,256,935 in in-store sales last year, an increase of 2.8 percent
from 2014. Chain operators, on the other hand, saw a 3.7-percent sales per
store gain to $1,406,866, a record high for the industry.”—Convenience
Store News for the Single Store Owner, June 2016.
Owners of aging underground storage tanks (USTs) in Arizona may be
eligible to have old USTs removed at no charge, according to a
press release from the Arizona
Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). To be eligible for the program,
a person must either own the site where the UST is located or have
previously owned or operated the UST. Applications are prioritized based on
the applicant’s financial resources and the UST’s risk to the environment.
