Convenience stores across the globe are experiencing a transformation from once fuel-driven landscapes to offering essentials that consumers once acquired from retail stores. According to NACS, on average, a convenience store in the U.S. has 1,491 transactions per day, 45,312 per month. The industry is dominated by single-store operators, which account for about 60% of all convenience stores. With a small store footprint, shoppers on-the-go can quickly grab food, gas, household essentials and more with typical transactions under $50. Consumers prefer to use cash for about half of all sales valued at less than $50.

With many cash transactions, convenience stores require durable POS solutions that diminish their cash handling challenges. In this setting, manual cash handling leads to high labor costs and cash discrepancies which impact their bottom line. Store owners also experience threats of robbery, internal theft, and counterfeit cash. apg® provides multiple solutions to help reduce cash management issues in the convenience industry.
