How to become a successful Gas+ Retailer
First and foremost, our most successful Gas+ retailers all share a passion for customer service and possess excellent interpersonal skills. Being fully committed to building a solid business is critical, as well as having a hands-on, lead-by-example, management style.
Previous experience running a business, including an understanding of accounting and administrative functions is an asset but other previous experiences are also valued. Gas+ retailers must also be proficient with Microsoft (Word/Excel/Outlook) and have the ability to meet Canadian Tire business standards and follow pricing guidelines. Our selection process is designed to identify these qualifications.
An initial investment of $30,000 to $70,000 (to be determined by the size of operation) is required up front for merchandise and inventory. You will also need a bank letter of credit between $10,000 and $50,000 to secure the gas inventory. And to complete the legal agreement between yourself and Canadian Tire, a separately incorporated company in your name must be established.
