2017 Convenience Store News Midyear Report Card

About halfway through the year, it appears that convenience store sales are tracking somewhat softer than a year ago, according to the 2017 Convenience Store News Midyear Report Card.

Citing high consumer confidence, healthy consumer spending and low unemployment, CSNews’ consulting economist Maureen Maguire provided an upbeat 2017 forecast with some reservations.
