Enhanced Store Performance Evaluation Now Available for Convenience Store Owners

Convenience store owners today face more pressure than ever to stay profitable while balancing rising costs, supply chain challenges, labor shortages, inflationary trends, and evolving customer expectations. It’s no longer enough to rely on gut instinct or outdated methods – today’s operators need real-time, data-driven decision-making tools to remain competitive and grow. That’s why MostEdge has officially upgraded its Store Performance Evaluation process – making it more robust, informative, and strategic than ever.

Now, instead of simply reviewing your store’s surface-level operations, we dig deep into your overall profitability, evaluating the full scope of your financial performance, sales trends, operational efficiencies, and technical infrastructure. The goal? To empower you with data that drives informed decisions and maximizes your net profit margin – helping you understand where you’re excelling, where you’re losing money, and what you can do about it (all from your store’s own dashboard).

Why Store 360 is a Game-Changer for C-Store Owners

MostEdge’s enhanced Store Evaluation – now part of our comprehensive 

 initiative – is a fully-integrated performance review system designed for modern convenience store owners and operators managing fuel, retail, lottery, and foodservice operations. Through a detailed lens, we help you understand where your store stands in the market, how each area of your operation contributes to your bottom line, and where key opportunities for growth exist.

Here's what we now include – and why each element is critical to running a profitable and sustainable store:

We start by examining your store’s market performance, giving you valuable context on how your business stacks up. This analysis includes:

 – How much are you really making per gallon after all costs? Knowing your margin helps you understand whether your fuel pricing is competitive yet profitable.

 – Shelf-stable, frozen, and fresh food items often carry higher profit margins; we help you monitor how these categories are performing.

 – Understanding your lottery ticket profit helps you balance foot traffic with cross-selling opportunities.

From there, we dive into your financial performance, focusing on:

 – Where your money is coming from and where it’s going.

 – Ensuring that what’s in your drawer matches your reports, helping detect theft of system errors.

 – A clear indicator of your store’s financial health, showing how much profit you’re keeping after all expenses.

 – Tells you whether your purchasing decisions are aligned with actual consumer demand.

This level of detail enables better budgeting, expense management, and cash flow oversight, all of which are crucial to maintaining strong financial health in today’s volatile market.

1. Market & Financial Performance Review

Every item sold in your store tells a story. That’s why we carefully review you:

 – Knowing what sells best (and what doesn’t) helps you fine-tune your product mix.

 – This metric is key to increasing revenue without needing more customers.

High-margin vs. low-margin product performance

 – Helps you identify the most profitable items to promote.

 – Learn which items are bought together and which days/times see the most activity.

Using these convenience store analytics, we help you understand how to increase sales, reduce overstock, and improve customer satisfaction. These insights are essential to boosting basket size, driving upsell opportunities and improving overall convenience store sales.

2. Sales & Transaction Insights

Even the best-stocked store can lose money if its operations are inefficient. We assess your internal workflows to find hidden inefficiencies that cost time and money. This includes:

 – Manual counts are necessary but time-consuming. We analyze your current method and offer automation suggestions.

– Delays in restocking impact sales. We help identify bottlenecks.

 – Are your team members allocated efficiently based on store traffic and tasks?

 – A lagging or outdated system can slow down lines, frustrate customers, and result in lost sales.

Identifying these operational efficiencies helps streamline your workflows, reduce labor costs, and ensure smoother day-to-day operations.

3. Operational Efficiency Evaluation

Effective convenience store inventory management is the backbone of a profitable retail operation. Inaccuracies in inventory can lead to:

 – Missed scans, missing invoices, or duplicate entries

Reconciliation issues in inventory vs. sales data

 – Pinpoint inconsistencies and track back to root causes

Discrepancies in vendor invoices or supply chain errors

 – Identify supply chain inefficiencies and overbilling errors

Our goal is to help reconcile every inventory transaction down to the very penny so that you have full visibility and accuracy in your cost of goods sold, purchasing, and profitability.

4. Inventory and Audit Management

5. Personalized Profitability Improvement Plan

No two stores are alike. That’s why we deliver tailored, store-specific recommendations based on:

Your customer traffic patterns and product mix

Your existing vendor relationships and pricing terms

Adjustments to pricing strategies to optimize profit margins

Recommendations for new categories based on trending data

Shifts in product placement or promotional timing to increase visibility

Cost-cutting tips that don’t compromise quality or experience

According to the latest Q2 2025 convenience and fuel retail data:

Convenience and gas stations with a loyalty program saw a 14% increase in repeat visits.

Basket size increased by 11% in stores offering personalized promotions through in-store screens or mobile apps.

Stores using digital inventory management tools saw 25% fewer stockouts and faster turnover.

Implementing a rewards strategy like Loyalty 360 can increase your customer retention and frequency.

Using MostEdge TV to promote daily deals or slow-moving items in-store creates higher customer engagement and can help move inventory faster.

Still Not Active on trunow? Here’s Why That’s Costing You Sales (and How to Fix It Today)

If you’ve been following or using MostEdge for a while, you’ve heard us talk about 

 – a cashback and marketing platform we’ve recommended to our retailers for years. Many of you have signed up, created your business listings, or at least looked into what the platform can do.

If you’re not actively using trunow in Q2 2025, you’re leaving real money on the table.

Right now, trunow is experiencing its highest user engagement ever, with a record number of app users scanning receipts, earning cash back and – most importantly – looking for more local businesses to shop at in-network.

And that next store they want to support could be yours… if you’re active.

Over the past two years, consumer habits have dramatically shifted. Today’s shoppers are mobile-first, deal-driven, and loyal to brands that give them rewards and relevance. They’re using apps to search local businesses, explore offers in real time, and make purchasing decisions on the go.

trunow has leaned into this shift – and its user base is exploding because of it (at over a million users).

trunow reported a 28% increase in monthly active users

Receipt scanning is up by 34%, revealing higher in-app engagement

Over 72% of users are now searching for deals and store listings in real-time while near retail locations

Consumer demand for more participating retailers is at an all-time high

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

A Quick Refresher: What trunow Does for Retailers

For those who haven’t activated their accounts in a while or never fully dove in, here’s what trunow offers you as a retailer – starting with a no-cost local business listing:

Get discovered instantly by nearby customers through the app. When users search for gas stations, convenience stores, liquor stores, and vape shops in the area, your physical location appears in their local searches – with your business hours, services, and contact info available.

Push real-time offers like BOGO snack, discounted fuel, or limited-time items straight to app users nearby. These local advertising features drive immediate visits to your store.

When customers scan receipts, you get actionable insights into what people are actually buying. That’s purchase data you can use to stock smarter, run better promos, and increase profits.

💰 Offer Cash Back (Without the Admin Headache)

trunow handles the logistics. You decide what you want to promote – maybe a specific product or a dollar amount per visit – and the app takes care of tracking and payouts. All you see is increased foot traffic and higher sales.

Get ahead of the curve with built-in SMS marketing and push notification marketing tools. These allow you to connect with your current and potential customers in real time, alerting them about deals, business updates, or rewards instantly.

trunow provides easy-to-read analytics dashboards, so you’re not guessing what works. You’ll know which deals bring people in, which products are selling, and how many customers are engaging with your business listing.

Real-Time Demand Is Surging – But Retailer Supply Is Lagging

Here’s what we at MostEdge are hearing directly from trunow’s internal team and verified user surveys:

Customers are earning cashback from their everyday receipts and browsing the app daily. But in many areas, there aren’t enough active retailers for them to engage with. They’re literally asking for more places in the network – and if your store is in a high-traffic or underserved area, they may already be searching for you.

If you’re inactive on trunow – or if your business info is outdated – you’re not just invisible… you’re irrelevant to thousands of ready-to-shop customers.

Let’s break down the value of being a fully active trunow partner:

 You shop up first when nearby users search for gas, groceries, or deals

 Send push notifications or SMS updates instantly to increase traffic

 Reward-driven shoppers spend more and return more often

 Use purchase trends from receipt scanning to run smarter promotions

 Cashback offers and timely deals keep your store top-of-mind
