Convenience Stores are Booming in Most States

The upswing was mostly driven by single-store operators.

The number of convenience stores across the US is on a steady uptick, according to new research, with 39 states and Washington D.C. all posting increases in 2022.  The increase was fueled by an upswing in the number of single-store operators, which increased by 1087 to 90.423 stores, according to trade association NACS.

There are currently 150,174 convenience stores operating in the United States, a 1.5% increase from the 2022 store count. The metric marks a reversal of a four-year decline, according to the 2023 NACS/NielsenIQ Convenience Industry Store Count.
