Recap of ZLC Meeting – Thursday May 11th – Brea, CA

As we are aware, GP % is down in the month of April. This GP decrease varies from 1 – 6% in each store. If the store has the low 1-2% it is because of the $2 per pack excise tax on tobacco. We have increased the retail $1.75. So stores are losing $0.25 per pack contributes to the low GP. We have communicated with 7-Eleven that we believe there should be a minimum $0.25 retail to offset the lower GP.

The new model includes preparing food, much like a “food service”. Some members feel as though SEI is not considering the labor cost aspect for franchisees.  FOASC Members and Board of Directors One of our guest speakers, Mark…
