ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The NACS
State of the Industry of 2012 Data Fact Book is now available. The 26th
edition of the Fact Book provides a
detailed statistical account of industry data over the past several years — or
in some cases, decades — as well as a historical recap of the industry and key
definitions and events that have shaped it.
“With more than 502 spreadsheets of industry history, the Fact Book is an indispensable tool for
any industry analyst,” said NACS Director of Research and Statistics Bob Swanson.
Over the past 26 years, the convenience and fuel retailing
industry has experienced remarkable growth, with sales increasing from $77
billion in 1986 to $700.3 billion in 2012. The Fact Book tracks many key metrics over the past quarter century of its
existence, as well as some metrics that go back as far as the 1950s.
The Fact Book
consists of two Word files and 47 Excel files that provide granular details
about merchandise, foodservice, motor fuels, store operations, top quartile and
same-store components of the convenience and fuel retailing industry.
Statistical breakouts include:
- Industry sales and profits
- Per-store sales, profits and expenses
- Motor fuel operations
- Category data
- Store-level survey data
- Top-performer information
The Fact Book is
available as a self-extracting executable file (.exe format) and is a companion
piece to the NACS State of the Industry
Report of 2012 Data, which was published in late June. Those who previously
ordered this year’s NACS State of the
Industry Report have received information on how to obtain their
complementary Fact Book.
