Questions
How many convenience stores are in Texas?
Texas has 11,351 convenience stores on map listings as of September 2026. 7,063 of them (62%) are chain locations. The listings count convenience stores without fuel. Official counts show 3,965 businesses with payroll classed as convenience stores in 2023, up 34.7% from 2019.
How much do households in Texas spend on groceries?
About $68B a year, or $6,186 per household. That is 2% below the U.S. average (an index of 98, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 11,351 convenience stores on map listings, it comes to $6M per store. The spending figure covers all groceries, not only convenience stores. It is estimated from the incomes of the 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Texas compare with the U.S. for convenience stores?
Texas has 10.3 convenience stores per 10,000 households, 29% above the U.S. rate of 8.0. Spending per store is $6M, 24% below the U.S. figure of $7.9M. At the national ratio of convenience stores to household spending, Texas would have about 8,632, against 11,351 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 2,772 households, against one for every 3,493 across the U.S. The official count rose 34.7% from 2019 to 2023, against +22.0% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for convenience stores?
Among 26 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area scores highest, at 74 (upper middle). Among 41 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Granbury area scores highest, at 81 (high). Among 161 scored counties in Texas, Rockwall County scores highest, at 96 (very high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Texas scores 42 for convenience stores (lower middle), #36 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
