Government Affairs

At APCA, we champion the interests of independent gas station, tobacco stores, liqour stores and convenience store owners across the USA. As the leading voice of the industry, we work tirelessly to ensure that your business is represented and protected. Every year, new legislation and local ordinances are introduced—some beneficial, others challenging. APCA actively engages at the State Capitol and with local municipalities to influence policies that impact our members.

Our grassroots network, supported by regional chapters, amplifies your voice and communicates industry needs to decision-makers. From advocating for fair regulations to pushing back against burdensome policies, APCA ensures your business interests remain a priority. By staying proactive and collaborative, we help shape a favorable environment for the industry to thrive.
