HE FASTEST WAY to add profits to your stores’ bottom line is to spend less on store operations. Easier said than done, right? Not when you take advantage of the tools, skills and discounts available through Alliance Cost Containment (ACC). Since 1992, ACC has helped thousands of companies and not-for-profits of all sorts around the United States to negotiate lower operating costs from suppliers and recapture net profit. For the past decade, ACC has worked with several convenience store chains, wholesale distributors and restaurant chains developing keen insights into the expense areas and unique challenges of these industries. As of January 2016, we are launching a new operating unit focused exclusively on convenience stores and wholesale distributors under the name “C-Store Savings.” Working with a long list of suppliers and subject matter experts of our own and supplemented by discount programs from our $13 billion buying group, C-Store Savings can offer operators two distinct ways to trim operating expenses: • Our Group Savings Programs feature pre-negotiated discounts with major national suppliers in over 40 expense areas. These

aggressive prices are available to operators at no charge. Just sign up at www.c-storesavingsbyacc.com, share some basic purchase data with us, and we’ll provide you with a comparative price to show how much you can save. • Our Custom Savings Programs feature individually-negotiated programs with suppliers of your choice. When we find savings and you agree to accept our recommendations, we help your team implement the program and audit the results every two months for two years to ensure that you get what suppliers have promised. For this, we share savings over the two year period with our clients.
In our experience, our convenience store clients do a terrific job of buying food and fuel. With thin staffing coming from tight margins, we typically find that there are many day-to-day expense areas that go untouched unless a major price increase or drop in service brings them to the forefront. ACC project teams do most of the work, requiring very little time from your staff, and our programs typically yield additional net profits of $3,000 to $5,000 per store per year. And if you have best-in-class pricing already, we’ll give you valuable third-party validation and charge you nothing for that peace of mind. Stop giving more money to your suppliers than necessary. Put C-Store Savings to work for your organization and let Alliance Cost Containment put money back on your bottom line.
Alliance Cost Containment has been providing high-value cost reduction consulting services to both for-profit and not-for-profit clients throughout the United States since 1992. In addition to the convenience store industry, ACC is active with manufacturers, distributors, healthcare providers, restaurant chains, financial institutions and private colleges, to name a few. Our deliverable is meaningful additional net profit, and we have a success rate of over 99% in increasing our clients’ bottom lines. Ranked #1390 on the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing American Companies in 2015, ACC is based in Louisville, Ky. Leaders in Convenience
