Comprehensive Study Recognizes Murphy USA as Retail Sales Leader

According to a store productivity study recently released by eMarketer, convenience store chain Murphy USA is second only to Apple in sales per square foot.  The study reveals that Murphy USA’s impressive $4,221 in sales per square foot exceeds the productivity of even luxury retailers like Movado, Coach, and Tiffany & Co. 

As the reason for Murphy USA’s remarkable success, eMarketer explains, “The main draw for customers is Murphy’s industry-leading low-cost gas prices, and its small-format stores offer low-priced convenience items such as single-serve soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, single-unit snack items and tobacco, all of which complement rather than compete with Wal-Mart’s product offerings.”  The study notes that, between the small size of Murphy USA sites and its popular and expanded offerings, the company is thriving.
