Training & Development

  The APEC Basic Training course is required for all new dealers regardless of industry experience. The class is designed to help prepare students for successful store operations and management.  Topics covered will be APEC policy and procedure, reviewing the APEC lease and contract, and discussing proven c-store management and petroleum marketing techniques.

The Process:  It is important to follow these steps in order!

• After determining which location your are interested in, contact the Territory Manager and request a dealer application.

• After receiving your completed application, the Territory Manager will contact you with a new rent amount. If you choose to move forward, you will be enrolled in training

• At this time, you should close the sale with the broker or current dealer.

• APEC will require prepayment of first months expenses plus a security deposit. After this is paid in full, your Territory Manager will give you a letter of intent that you can use to get licensing and insurance.

• After you have completed the training class, paid all monies due, and have submitted all the required paperwork, a lease and contract will be prepared.

• Your Territory Manager will contact you to schedule a date for closing. All leases are effective on the first day of the month. This process may take up to 8 weeks.
