There are over 1 million retail establishments across the United States, and retail sales have grown almost 4 percent annually since 2010.

There are 153,237 convenience stores operating in the United States, according to the 2019 NACS/Nielsen Convenience Industry Store Count. The count is based on stores as of December 31, 2018.

9,100 stores - presumably retail stores - represents 0.91% of all retail stores.

Thanks, Tom

Tom, .91% may seem like an insignificant number, but there are thousands of jobs lost hidden in the number.

Truly defined rural areas are economically hit the hardest by this.
