Inside sales are less sensitive in overall volume than say, a specialty retailer would be.<br /> The overall traffic driver, fuel, has gone up in price so much that the average consumer, who knows they are spending more money at your store, thinks they are helping you. </p> <p>Most consumers have very little idea of the real margins in gasoline sales, and would be shocked how little the retailer actually makes. </p> http://community.csdecisions.net/topic/23#post-33 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 16:22:10 +0000 admin 33@http://community.csdecisions.net/ <p>Hi AC, you might want to look at the report by David Bishop - it doesn't answer your question directly, but it will provide you with some insight.</p> <p><a href="http://www.csdecisions.com/Content/Site701/Whitepapers/01_01_2000/TheStateofFoods_00000043484.ppt" rel="nofollow">http://www.csdecisions.com/Content/Site701/Whitepapers/01_01_2000/TheStateofFoods_00000043484.ppt</a></p> <p>If you have troubles with the link, you can go up to to the home page on CSDecisions.com and go to the link in the Foodservice Show and (click on the David Bishop Foodservice 2007 and beyond).</p> <p>All my best,</p> <p>--BJG </p> http://community.csdecisions.net/topic/23#post-32 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 16:22:06 +0000 admin 32@http://community.csdecisions.net/ <p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any info or best guess on how much of c-store sales is related to the current economic conditons. I am pretty sure that a good majority of C-store sales are pretty sensative to the economy but I was wondering if anyone know exactly how much</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>AC </p>
