CSP You know CSP as the leading convenience and petroleum retailing publication for the past 11 years. And it’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly.

Industry leaders look to CSP to guide c-stores toward a dynamic future. The rapid changes and expectations that have transpired in the c-store industry would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago. Our channel’s success today is less about convenience and more about experience and impulse. This means stores must embrace better traffic flow, showcase key destinations and engage the consumer

in a way that makes them want to return. CSP is no different than the industry we cover. We must meet the challenges and reading habits of our shopper—the reader—of today and tomorrow. We listen to and direct this new generation of readership with stories that are more engaging, entertaining and appealing—both visually and editorially. We pride ourselves in being the best, which has led us to change our fundamental behaviors to shape the evolving world around us. CSP’s foundation as the leader in the convenience store industry still rests on reaching the largest and highest-quality subscribers. Add in our award-winning editorial team and you have superior coverage and readership strength that no other competitor can match.
