Beer Category Assessment

The beer category can generate significant sales and profits for convenience retailers. In its 2007 State of the Industry Report, the National Association of Convenience Stores stated beer sales averaged $201,806 and generated $41,137 in gross margin. b2b Solutions is often contacted by retailers when they are not achieving this type results and are not sure why.
