            In 1973, convenience store operators united together in to create The Georgia Association of Convenience Stores, Inc. (GACS). Sunday Blue Laws convinced operators and owners across the state to create a much stronger united voice at the State Capitol. Today, advocacy is still the primary function for GACS. GACS staff monitors legislation daily during the Georgia General Assembly (January-April) and reports changes to the membership on a regular basis.

            Year round, we monitor all State of Emergency events, and work with regulatory agencies to keep members abreast of changes affecting their bottom line. ​We're proud to be the foremost source for convenience store information in Georgia.
