APCA was formed to unite independent gasoline and convenience store owners. APCA is a group of business owners who are in the convenience store industry to learn, grow, and succeed! Based on a cursory survey of independent owners of gasoline service store and convenience store owners we found that these owners were being under-represented at regulatory institutions in city, County and State agencies. Decisions are being made, and laws being created at various regulatory institutions that are affecting the business model of these owners without adequate input in the proposed regulations and rules. Current market place associations appeared to be focusing on the needs of larger grocers or oil companies, rather than smaller independent retailers. In 2012, a few leaders within the business community came together to evaluate the need for such an organization and realized the need for APCA. APCA hopes to be a grass roots organization providing representation to small independent gasoline and convenience store owners.

APCA will strive to improve the business environment and community relations of the independent retailers and become a resource for its members in all their business transactions. APCA will provide political information and updates, keeping everyone aware and in the loop of policies and laws that affect us directly. APCA provides connections to vendors for better pricing and stronger relationships. The members of this great organization are able to participate in trade/buying shows, where they can test new product before investing in it. APCA educates its members so those with experience can continue to grow and those who have less experience can be empowered to take their business to the next level! Here, at APCA, we believe in networking and becoming family with other APCA members.
