Convenience stores achieved a new record for in-store dollar sales in 2022, according to the NACS State of the Industry report. Whether they can build on that performance is a question facing the industry more than a quarter of the way through 2023.
C-store sales reached $906.1 billion last year and in-store purchases accounted for just over one-third of the total at $302.8 billion. In-store sales grew nine percent during the year.
