As sholes.

Seriously, anyone have a number? Give or take 100.

16,000.

One of the largest state trade associations of its kind, this 1,000-member organization represents petroleum marketers and convenience store owners and operators who own, operate, or supply approximately 16,000 convenience stores, service stations, and other retail motor fuel outlets in Texas and the southwest United States. Collectively, these petroleum marketers and convenience store companies supply nearly 9,000,000,000 gallons of fuel and tons of related products annually to Texas motorists. The average TPCA member owns and operates ten convenience stores and supplies twelve more. These businesses provide fuel and lubricants to the vast majority of commercial end-users, including farmers, construction firms, and local and state governments. In addition, TPCA associate members represent all of the diverse fields associated with the petroleum distribution system and convenience store industry.

Why? Are you trying to figure out how many boxes of BBs you'll need for "business development"?

PARAGON 10-24-2005 07:56 PM

Do you seriously want to know? I can probably find out.

Yes please. Pretty please Paragon. I know it sounds dumb, but need to confirm if the numbers above are correct.

h2co-pilot 10-24-2005 08:01 PM

I'll give you the exact number and plots for futures in the next 6 months if you pm me an underwear pic.

DennisAJC 10-24-2005 08:04 PM

I promise the wifey that no other may see my abs.

But since they're in Japan, I have an abundance of dirty undies lyin around the house sans Hershey Highway I can take a picture of.

rodster 10-24-2005 08:33 PM

14,206 according to this page at doe.gov.

The latest data is for 2002 but it is not broken down by state, so here is my thoughts:

In 1997 there were:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE> 81,684 convenience store service stations and,
45,205 regular gas stations that have no c-stores
TOTAL = 126,889, in all of the US

In Texas, 8,049 with c-stores and,
2,851 without
TOTAL = 10,900[/list]
That was in 1997. The total in 2002 was:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>92,979 convenience store service stations and,
27,823 regular gas stations that have no c-stores
TOTAL = 120,902, in all of the US[/list]
It would be my guess that the Texas 1997 numbers would be close to accurate since there is only roughly a 5% change in the total US numbers.

So, I am guessing there is somewhere between 10,750 and 11,000 based on NAICS codes 447110 and 44719. Hope that helps.

Thanks guys.

And thank-you Paragon.

devilsfan 10-24-2005 10:20 PM

Is this what's known as "casing the joint"? Planning on a new career in armed robbery, Dennis?
