The Political Thread

Oh this is indeed the way. Getting loyal customers that are repeat and regular customers is the key to not dying as a gas station and convenience store.

Yeah every time I drive back to my parents I stop there and get road trip snacks now. Always go for gas too but like you said not that much profit margin there

 

[Alexa]

Velvet eh.

So you saying you soft?

Yeah, I fucked that up, lol. ANd yeah underneath my tough exterior there is a softie somehwere.

Ah hell yeah, you can be the Madusa to my Paul E. Dangerously

Fuck yeah.

The number one thing that can make a break you is being competitive on both cigarettes and alcohol prices. The sin is really where the money is. If you’re not continuously scooping out all the competition there within of the like the two blocks closest to you and being in line or better than them you will die.

Regal : you scrumptious lil coconut you!

This is why you get rid of the competition.

It’s kind of hard as an independent store when most of the competition are large chains businesses and franchises.

pretty much what happened to my grandpa's liquor store too, he was doing good for awhile until some chains opened up and they were able to be open on Sundays and what not

Grease some palms and introduce some rats into their stores.

This is business, play for keeps.....they're doing the same.

 

[Deezy]

In all honesty you don't run a successful business if you "play by the rules".

Six packs of Bud and Coors for $4.50. That did us wonders.

What wonderland of cheap beer is this?

Those beers are shit, but the price

Been like that in Canada for like 15 years.

The profit is still good, too. Those are rung up for 30 packs that we sell for $22. So still make money on 6-packs at that price than we do selling the 30.

So a little secret for you. They’re overcharging for no reason. No place needs to sell a sixer for $6 or $7.
