C-Store Savings Cost Reduction Program

C-Store Savings, a new cost reduction program from Alliance Cost Containment (ACC), offers convenience store chains with 10 or more locations two distinct ways to reduce day-to-day operating costs. The Group Savings option provides pre-negotiated savings on more than 30 expense areas, including energy, waste disposal, credit/debit card processing and pest control. The discounts are available for no out-of-pocket cost; all fees are covered by participating suppliers. Savings typically amount to 10 percent to 25 percent compared to clients' current prices, according to the company. The Custom Cost Reduction option offers bidding events for specific expense areas. Savings typically total in the 15-percent to 40-percent range; the client company and ACC share savings accrued over a 24-month period.
