Gasoline Stations with Convenience Stores

NAICS 457110 · Gasoline Stations and Fuel Dealers · SBA size standard: $36.5 million average annual receipts

Gasoline stations with convenience stores handle fuel deliveries and underground tank management, process payments at pumps and registers, stock and rotate merchandise including age-restricted items, run daily shift reconciliations, maintain compliance logs for tanks and safety equipment, operate car washes, and manage pricing updates across all systems. Specialists turn supplier delivery notices and tank readings into verified inventory updates, point-of-sale and meter data into shift reports and deposits, low-stock scans into reorder lists, price signals into synchronized updates, and daily sales into approved loyalty offers, while the station manager confirms every purchase, price change, filing and supplier agreement.
