an article published by AAA<\/a>, travel numbers are projected to be within 5% of pre-pandemic numbers during the holidays. This trend is a good sign for all aspects of convenience retailing, as demand for fuel will increase alongside travel rates.<\/p>\nIn addition, the passage of the recent infrastructure bill will hopefully mean not only the development of better roads, but also the additional jobs needed to build them, and by extension, more people driving to and from job sites.<\/p>\n
With all these positive signs for the fuel retail industry, now is the perfect time to make sure your site is up-to-date on routine dispenser maintenance. This can help save on maintenance costs and minimize downtime as fuel sales increase.<\/p>\n
Finally, the PetroClear and First Brands teams want to wish everyone a happy holiday season. Whether you\u2019re traveling, hosting or anything in between, thank you for making 2021 a great year. I wish you and yours glad tidings for an outstanding 2022.<\/p>\n
