Over the years, the CCSA’s annual report has become the leading reference for the convenience store industry in Canada.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DepQu\u00e9bec<\/strong> is very proud to offer you today, exclusively for all of Canada, the brand new 2017 edition of the Annual Report on the Convenience Stores Industry in Canada prepared by the Canadian Convenience Stores Association (CCSA)<\/a> that you can download by clicking here for the English version<\/a> or here for the French version<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a tradition of nearly a decade, the CCSA <\/a>publishes a detailed and comprehensive annual report on the state of the convenience store industry. This comprehensive research aims at defining the contours and parameters of an industry that is often misunderstood and ill-defined for the benefit of the public, the media and governments, as well as to better appreciate the evolution and trends over the years.<\/p>\n

Using extensive sources of information from both research firms, government data and major players in the industry, the CCSA <\/a>has created an information tool that has become the leading reference when it comes to industry statistics such as number of convenience stores, employees, sales, taxes paid to governments and others.<\/p>\n

This extensive research is graciously offered to you by the CCSA<\/a>, which DepQu\u00e9bec<\/strong> would like to thank. It is intended to inform any interested person, group or institution about the contribution, place and role of the formidable convenience store industry that is present in all communities of our country, small or large.<\/p>\n

Here are some excerpts in pictures. Good reading!<\/p>\n

The 2017 edition of the report shows that the number of convenience stores in Canada has increased by 2.8%, from 26 486 in 2015 to 27 239 in 2016. While the chains have consolidated their network, the number of sites decreasing from 9,668 to 9,550 (-1.2%), independents increased their number of stores by 16,798 to 17,689 (+ 5.2%).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Of all Canadian provinces, Quebec saw the highest growth in number of stores: 205 compared to 148 for Alberta, 97 for Ontario and 76 for Newfoundland Labrador.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Convenience store sales surpassed the $ 56 billion mark in 2016. Among the provinces with the fastest growth, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Alberta stand out for sales of convenience stores without gas with a respectively 29%, 25% and 24% increase in 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Since they sell the most taxed products in the market (alcohol, gas, tobacco and lotteries), convenience stores collect and remit a gigantic amount in sales taxes, over $ 22 billion a year, or as much as the federal government collects in GST yearly in all provinces except Ontario.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
