The very first thing you need to do is identify the needs that your gas station has. You can’t simply look for a supplier before knowing what you’re aiming to achieve with a new supplier. It’s important to sit down and create a list of realistic goals and find a supplier who can help you reach those goals.

It’s common sense to keep your eyes on the road when driving because of the risks involved. But, when it comes to something like pumping gas in their cars, people often forget the importance of being cautious.
Gas station accidents are not a rarity. From 2014 to 2018, there were an average of 4,150 fires at gas stations per year.
Imagine the number of times you stop at a gas station; it’s a part of your everyday routine. Make sure you avoid the following mistakes people tend to make without knowing it.

I don’t know if we are just getting more notifications these days or it has just been a year where the manufacturers are in a self-reflective mode with their products’ performances and it is an opportunity to slim down during trying times to trim down on raw materials and what they deem as wasted effort but consolidation is a continual process across a broad line of products that do relatively the same thing but to varying degrees and it’s not necessarily a bad thing in all instances.
*After 10/1/2021, we will continue to offer these discontinued models until our onhand inventory has been depleted.

I think most Americans appreciate vintage Americana and for us in the retail petroleum business, old gas stations are very interesting. The above image is of this blog author’s house from 1924 and it doesn’t look remotely the same today. It started life in a different location and was moved to its current location in 1880 to serve as the town post office, a trolley stop, general store and of course, a gas station!
As I was posting some vendor-related videos, a few vintage gas station videos popped up that I thought would be a nice change of pace of just enjoying some American gas station history. You may be shocked by some of what you notice in this video because some things date back much further than you have been led to believe! So here you go:

Due to market competition and ease for new entrants, existing service station owners may find it challenging to drive more sales. You must understand that the target customers for your fuel station are interested in more than just getting gas. They want exemplary on-spot service and diverse offerings at service stations. Facility owners need to come up with effective promotional strategies to boost brand awareness and traffic.

Product End of Life Notification | July 23, 2021
This is a notice that Gilbarco has decided to end of life the Passport Edge product. Gilbarco has stopped selling new hardware and services for Passport Edge as of July 1, 2021. We sincerely appreciate your support of the Passport Edge product, and your understanding with any inconvenience caused by this end of life.
Service End Date: On December 31, 2021, all existing Passport Edge services will be terminated. The services included are help desk, Insite360, hardware warranty, and software updates. Until Cancellation a site will continue to be invoiced for their Passport Edge system and/or service. All invoicing for Passport Edge systems and service will cease December 31st if the contract has not been cancelled prior to that date.
The cancellation agreement can be found here.
Replacement Options: Gilbarco will waive all Passport Edge subscription cancellation fees. We will also offer sites the ability to keep the existing Edge hardware. The site will need to purchase a Passport trade-up and receipt printer (the IP based Edge receipt printers are not supported by Passport). They can utilize most of the Edge hardware including PIN pads, cash drawer, UPS, keyboard, mouse, etc., in order to minimize replacement costs. An annual PSO contract will also be required between the site but reactivation fees will be waived if necessary until the end of the year. The site can contact contract services at 1-866-606-8969 to sign up for PSO.
