Advocacy

United C-Stores (UCS) works to promote and protect the business interests of the convenience stores before local, state, federal regulators and legislators. We advocate and help protect against the rules and regulations that can have a negative impact on your business and livelihood. Ultimately, our goal is to see better legislation drafted. We hope to facilitate that process by providing our input, knowledge and data to educate the members of our local, state and federal elected officials about your business needs and interests.

Every year countless issues compete for the attention of our legislators. When it comes to the convenience store and fueling station business, we support candidates who understand our business and work to improve our industry. To consistently advocate and protect our industry, we develop and maintain a professional relationship with elected officials at all levels of the government.

As a business, it’s in your best interest to be proactively involved in making legislations that benefit the industry versus becoming subject to unfair legislation and fighting to get it changed. Help us achieve that by becoming a member today.
