Retail Membership

NACS defines a convenience store as
"...a retail business with primary emphasis placed on providing the public a convenient location to quickly purchase from a wide array of consumable products (predominantly food or food and gasoline) and services." Other retail operations outside this definition that would benefit from the NACS offer are also welcome to join.

  • International Retail Membership is open to all non-U.S. convenience store and petroleum marketing companies. Dues are calculated based on number of stores owned/operated.
