The Greyhound Mansfield Advantage Greyhound and Mansfield have joined forces to provide c-store operators a tremendous opportunity for growth and long term profitability. We call this the Greyhound Mansfield Advantage. Over the past year and a half, Mansfield has worked diligently to bring its customers tried and true profit improving ideas and business concepts. Through our Preferred Vendor Program, c-store operators have the ability to customize how they purchase products for their store and which products best fit their customer base.
How Does The Program Work? Greyhound and Mansfield implemented a program to gauge the profitability of installing independently owned and operated Greyhound ticket and freight services in convenient store locations. The concept has been tremendously successful and we are now looking for convenience store partners throughout the United States. Pete Patel, owner of State Road 82 Truck Stop declares,“You simply get more sales, and you can’t ask for more than that in this economy.” With the Greyhound Mansfield business model, your retail location will be added to one of Greyhound's bus routes. Routes typically serve 4,000 to 12,000 passengers per month.
Increase Profits Through Freight Services You may not know that Greyhound has been in the parcel delivery service for more than ninety years. Its nationwide network provides a cost-effective alternative to other same-day delivery options. The Greyhound Mansfield program will allow customers to ship time-sensitive packages from your retail location, adding yet another service for local customers and Greyhound riders. You will also receive a percentage of freight sales, varying by location. Typical freight commissions are between 3% - 5% which can result in as much as $30,000 per year in additional gross profit.
From your convenience store, community residents will be able to purchase tickets and ship freight while bus riders can take a break from the ride for services and products found within your store.
Increase Profits Through Ticket Sales
Increase Customer Volume
You're a convenience store owner and operator now, you also have the opportunity to serve as an independent Greyhound ticketing location. As with passenger freight sales, you will also receive a percentage of all ticket sales at your convenience store.
Adding the Greyhound Mansfield package to your location will increase your customer volume by an average of 200 500 customers per day. Participants in the pilot program have seen an increase in in-store sales of at least 25% 30% on merchandise and 30% - 35% on food and beverage products.

Expand Your Community Involvement By providing valuable services that can expand on and off site to your customers and Greyhound riders, you will become more visible as your community’s one stop shop.
Boost Your Inside Sales Today’s convenience store customer is looking for more than packaged treats. Assuming you have a store averaging $50,000 inside sales with a gross profit of 30%, your total gross profit would be $15,000. With the Greyhound solution, your monthly gross profit can increase from $5,400 to $16,000 per month. To support your increase in traffic, and to gain synergies with your customer base, Mansfield has again teamed up with well - known brands like US Food Service, Nathan’s Hot Dogs, Chester’s Chicken, and Thomas & Howard Company. Quality products and services drive repeat business, and enhance your customer’s/rider’s experience.
This program is not for everyone. We are looking for leading retail owner/operators across the country who want to change the way they do business. In addition to inside store assistance, Mansfield can also help your retail location with its fuel program. We offer branded fuels from BP, Sinclair, Citgo, Chevron, Marathon, Crown, Texaco and Valero, as well as our private brand, Solo. Let Greyhound and Mansfield drive business to your store.
