Tom Reed went behind the counter at the Dandi Mini Mart on Wygant Road in Horseheads to take food orders, speak with customers and meet with employees about the benefits of tax reform. We care about providing relief to businesses and families through tax cuts, Tom said. Tax cuts help people keep more of their own money and allow small businesses to offer better pay and benefits to their employees. Thank you, Dandy Mini Mart, for inviting us here today for this hands-on experience and to hear the personal stories from your employees and customers, Tom concluded. Convenience stores are the anchor of communities across the country, and they are also where community conversations take place, National Association of Convenience Stores President and CEO Henry Armour said. More than half of the country visits a convenience store on a daily basis, whether to buy fuel, use the ATM, wash their cars or quickly buy snacks, drinks or meals. The NACS In Store program gives elected officials a perfect opportunity to experience how these stores serve the public in their home districts. We believe our elected officials will emerge with an even more intimate understanding not only of convenience stores' challenges but also of their many contributions across the economic, social and cultural spectrum. And over time, convenience store owners and the customers and communities they serve should benefit from policies that spur further growth, prosperity and innovation in the sector, Armour concluded. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
