Last week, empty shelves.
This week, we’re checking if it got fixed.

Why does lottery cause so many headaches in convenience stores?

Cash shortages, ticket mistakes, confusing transactions, and inexperienced cashiers can all make lottery difficult to manage. For a new employee, it’s often one of the steepest learning curves behind the register.

These two numbers can make or break a gas station.

Knowing what your fuel underground actually cost you and what your next load will cost is critical when setting gas prices.

When market prices start falling, getting that math wrong can mean selling fuel for less than you paid for it.

I couldn’t run my store without this.

A good back office should tell you at a glance how your business is doing. Fuel, margins, inventory, sales. The numbers are always there, and you need to be able to trust them.

Have you ever seen these chips before? If so, where? Are they any good? Some say they are the best in the world!

Front-facing isn’t just for looks.

Keeping products pulled forward makes missing inventory easier to spot, whether it’s theft, a scanning mistake, or something that simply needs restocked.

The best POS you can get for under $1,000?

A great POS does more than process transactions.

It should be ready to use out of the box, keep your register and back office perfectly in sync, and let you manage your price book from anywhere.

Can your store pass the beef jerky challenge?

This convenience store owner has a simple theory:

If a store has expired products, you’ll probably find them on the beef jerky shelf.

It’s a quick test anybody can try on the fly. Would your store pass?

Do your stores carry Slush Puppie machines? Are they actually profitable?

Not every store has one, and not every store should. Sales volume, rental costs, maintenance, and even something as simple as missing price signage all determine whether a frozen beverage program makes money.

How would you improve this store’s layout?

Every store is different, and every layout comes with tradeoffs.

A wider aisle might improve the shopping experience. More shelving might increase product selection. The challenge is finding the right balance.

What would you change?
