 See below for some security tips and measures to think about for your gas station and convenience store.   

• Installing a closed-circuit TV at the cash register so customers can see that they are being watched. This can alleviate a lot of in store theft by employees.

• Also installing a security camera by the cash register so you the owner can watch the actions of your convenience store cashier.

• Try installing an automated bill reader/cash counter built into your safe for added security measures.

• Count your cigarettes and lottery daily and your beer/wine and soda weekly. This is a good action to do to make sure customers or employees are not stealing from you. NOTE: Also double check your purchase order when merchandise is delivered to your convenience store. There have been stories of gas station owners not receiving their complete beer or soda orders. (If you (gas station owner) ordered 10 cases of beer, make sure you check that 10 cases of the beer you ordered was delivered).

• Place mirrors in places where customers will not expect to see them. This has proven to cut down theft by 60 percent.

• Prosecute offenders so it never happens again and let it be an example for other possible theft attempters.

Customer Reviews:

I thought the website was well-organized and made it easy to search and order the gas station guide. The selection was good, and I was pleased with the ordering and delivery process.

I was amazed at how easy it was to print out the gas station business plan, that was already written on the disk that was sent with my gas station business plan guide. I just made some minor adjustments by entering my corporate gas station business information and some details of the proposed gas station I wanted to invest in and printed the gas station business plan out from my home printer.
