Retail Membership
About
AACSA defines a convenience store as:
"a retail business with primary emphasis placed on
providing the public a convenient location to quickly purchase
from a wide array of consumable products (predominantly
food and/or gasoline) and services."
However, other retail operations such
as Indian restaurants & Grocery Stores,
Subway Sandwich etc., that do not exactly fit this definition
but would benefit from the AACSA offer,
are also welcome to join.
