For the Fuel & Convenience Store Industry
FOOT TRAFFIC REPORT FOR THE FUEL & CONVENIENCE STORE INDUSTRY Q1 2017 A NEW ERA FOR THE CONVENIENCE STORE As the convenience store industry adapts to meet customer needs and grow market share, location intelligence is becoming increasingly critical to understanding consumer habits and behaviors. GasBuddy and Cuebiq teamed up in the first quarter of 2017 to issue the first foot traffic report for the fuel and convenience store industry. Highlights: GasBuddy and Cuebiq examined 23.5 million consumer trips to the pumps and convenience stores between January 1 and March 31. In Q1, more than half of GasBuddies visited locations within six miles of their homes or places of employment, giving retailers the opportunity to leverage their greatest resource—knowing their customer base—to localize and personalize their product selection. Weekdays between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. were highly-trafficked hours in Q1. Convenience stores are poised to lure business away from QSRs and grocery stores now that customers can eat quality meals at the same place and time they choose to fill up their tanks. With filling a gas tank clocking in at an efficient 2-3 minutes, the 73% of GasBuddies who spent more than five minutes at locations in Q1 demonstrated that consumers are likely willing to spend some time in store before or after visiting the pumps. QUARTERLY FOOT TRAFFIC REPORT 1 GasBuddy examined nearly 23.5 million consumer trips to gas Indiana-based gas station and stations and c-stores in Q1 2017 convenience store chain Ricker’s enjoys a loyal GasBuddy customer Which fuel brands captured the base—the nearly 50-station brand highest ratio of footfall per station? captured more than 4x the industry average footfall per location in Q1.

Convenience Stores, Gas Stations Found Bright
CONVENIENCE STORES, GAS STATIONS FOUND BRIGHT SPOTS IN PANDEMIC An Ipsos Point of View Circle K, 7-Eleven, Wawa and other stores added/ expanded their digital business models in 2020, addressing consumer concerns for health and safety, by seizing on the demand for curbside and in-store pickup. Will that continue if normal life returns? Here’s what the data shows. Key Objectives/Findings: • Convenience stores and gas stations faced similar problems—including lower foot traffic and health and safety concerns —to other retailers in 2020 but found opportunity in pickup and delivery. • Despite fuel prices falling and fewer people driving, these stores were able to take advantage of a boost in impulse trips and sales. • Third-party app usage for convenience stores and gas stations soared, helping offset the decline in fuel demand. • New Ipsos research shows how convenience stores and gas stations can adapt as consumer habits slowly return to ones common before the pandemic. 2 IPSOS | CONVENIENCE STORES, GAS STATIONS FOUND BRIGHT SPOTS IN PANDEMIC Over the past year, more buying shifted online amid the retail shakeout and the extraordinary circumstances presented by the pandemic—a trend that had major implications for convenience stores and gas stations. From Circle K to 7-Eleven and more, convenience store chains and gas stations adjusted to a very different world of fewer drivers, fewer fuel purchases and a huge demand for delivery of household items. As life slowly returns to normal, will those trends continue? Here’s what Ipsos has found from recent studies that can help conveni- ence store leaders and managers prepare for the future.

Foot Traffic Report Q4 2017
FOOT TRAFFIC REPORT & DRIVING TRENDS for the fuel & convenience store industry 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW & 2018 FORECAST 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW & 2018 FORECAST GasBuddy and Cuebiq examined 121 million consumer trips to convenience and fuel retailers in 2017—with 35 million visits taking place between October 1 and December 31. This data provides insights into consumer behavior that will continue to be relevant throughout 2018. Highlights: Ricker’s Captures the Top Spot in 2017 The Indiana-based retailer edges out the competition for the highest ratio of footfall per station in 2017—nearly five times the industry average. Costco claims second place after capturing the top spot in Q4, and Meijer comes in a close third. Good Forecourt Lighting is Good for Business Throughout 2017, there was a strong correlation between overnight foot traffic and the quality of forecourt lighting. Stations near interstates with above-average outdoor lighting ratings on GasBuddy saw a 50% increase in foot traffic, during the hours of 9:00pm to 5:00am, when compared to those with below-average ratings. Visits were up in Q4 From Q3 to Q4 2017, visits to gas stations and convenience stores saw an uplift of 5.15%. Busiest Time of the Day An analysis of location data reveals that Friday at 12:00pm saw the highest average levels of foot traffic in 2017. Lunch hours were the busiest during the work week, and the morning commute was comparatively slower. GasBuddies Go Beyond the Pump McDonald’s narrowly edged out Subway to become GasBuddies' favorite quick-service restaurant of 2017, and Starbucks took the title over Dunkin' Donuts in the coffee shop category.

2019 Outlook: Merchant Services
2019 Outlook: Merchant Services 8 Mill and Main Place, Suite 150 | Maynard, MA 01754 November 2018 www.mercatoradvisorygroup.com |phone 1-781-419-1700 |email: [email protected] 2019 OUTLOOK: MERCHANT SERVICES Mobile apps and new sales channels throw a lifeline to beleaguered merchants. Store closings, especially legacy chains, continue to dominate headlines for the U.S. merchant industry. Empty storefronts dot Main Street USA, while metro and suburban malls have gaping holes left by vanishing anchor stores. But Armageddon has not yet arrived, as most macro indicators offer positive signs including a resurgent economy and a mostly confident consumer. Brick-and-mortar stores are not dead, and some retail verticals are even expanding. Many successful merchants are enjoying a lift from the rising e-commerce trade. For 2019, a key merchant sales driver will be mobile commerce and its increasingly pivotal role in consumers’ researching, shopping, and buying goods and services. This 2019 Outlook on merchant services provides insight on how this will happen. by Raymond Pucci, Director, Merchant Services 8 Mill and Main Place, Suite 150 Maynard, MA 01754 [email protected] © 2018 Mercator Advisory Group, Inc. 1 2019 Outlook: Merchant Services Looking Back at Mercator’s 2017 Predictions for 2018 Merchant Services Looking back at the predictions we offered in last year’s Outlook on merchant services (Mercator Advisory Group’s 2018 Outlook: Merchant Services, released in December 2017), we are pleased to report that reality matched or exceeded the predictions in all cases.
