Overview of the Convenience Stores Insurance Program
Our Convenience Stores Insurance program is designed for independent agents and brokers seeking a flexible solution for their retail clients. Whether your insured is a single-location corner store or a small chain with multiple locations, our non-admitted markets allow us to write accounts that may not qualify for standard market placement due to unique exposures or prior loss history.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
We are actively seeking small to mid-sized convenience stores, with or without gasoline sales. Stores with 24/7 operations, liquor sales, or high foot traffic are welcome, as we have access to carriers that understand the increased exposures these operations present. Ideal submissions include:
- Standalone convenience stores
- C-stores with fuel pumps
- Locations with liquor sales
- Urban or rural locations
We can consider risks with prior claims history or higher liability exposures, such as late-night operations or high-crime areas.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Our program offers comprehensive coverage options to help protect your insureds from the unique risks associated with running a convenience store. We can package or write monoline policies depending on your client's needs. Coverage options include:
- Commercial General Liability (CGL/GL)
- Property and Business Personal Property
- Business Income and Business Interruption
- Assault & Battery
- Liquor Liability
- Crime and Theft
- Excess Liability
- Food Spoilage and Contamination
- Glass Coverage
- Fire and Vandalism
This broad menu of coverages allows you to craft a policy that aligns with your client’s specific operations and exposures.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Minimum premium requirements vary depending on the size, location, and risk profile of each account. We encourage agents to submit complete applications with current loss runs and detailed operational descriptions for faster turnaround. We have strong carrier relationships that allow us to be flexible on accounts that may not fit in standard markets.
