Using a Metal Building for a Money Making Machine
Smart investors are cashing in on America’s frantic pace by building steel convenience stores.
The Appeal of Convenience Stores
Owners of corner stores and food marts count on harried Americans’ cravings for timesaving convenience. As we hurry to and fro, we grab-and-go at these easy access stores— mostly for fast fuel and high-octane snacks.
In truth, the number one product these food marts offer is time.
For example, studies show the average dash to the corner store takes three to four minutes. However, visits to the local supermarket average 41 minutes. And make no mistake, saving 38 minutes in your busy day matters.
Corner Store Statistics
U.S. convenience stores raked in over $650 billion in annual sales in 2018. Indeed, 2018 marked the sixteenth year in a row of industry sales increases.
Consider these industry stats:
- According to the National Association of Convenience Stores, America now boasts 154,237 convenience stores. That is over five times the number of dollar stores.
- Over 10% of these retailers operate in Texas.
- Almost 80% of food mart stores also sell gasoline. And fuel sales were up 13.2% in 2018. Moreover, the owner’s margin on fuel sales also increased 7.7%.
- In addition, inside store sales also rose 2.2%.
