APTER INDUSTRIES: Convenience Store Safety and Cleanliness

On top of daily operations, convenience store managers must create a culture that encourages safety and cleanliness for both staff and customers. 

At Apter Industries, we prioritize the health and wellness of our clients and their valued guests when manufacturing our products. To help ensure a safe environment, we offer organized product charts and training guides that take the guesswork out of the cleaning process. 

We also work one-on-one with clients to create a custom cleaning program that promotes efficient cleaning practices that benefit your employees and your customers. 

C-Store Safety Training Made Easy

High employee turnover is one of the leading issues in the convenience store industry. In order to reduce these rates, management must keep information relevant, organized, and accessible for all staff members. However, convenience store employees must know how to properly read chemical labels and access safety information to perform cleaning procedures.

Apter Industries’ training resources go above and beyond to ensure clarity in your C-Store’s cleaning protocols.

When a client commits to a cleaning program with Apter Industries, we provide branded cleaning charts and videos detailing how to safely mix–and effectively use–our products. Staff members can access a custom portal outlining the training materials and safety data information by simply scanning a QR code with their phones. 

Outdoor Program: Forecourt First Cleaning Kit

Oil and gasoline leaks are a common safety issue within the C-Store industry, exposing employees and customers to hazardous chemicals. Apter Industries helps retailers combat this problem by offering a Forecourt First Kit to help clean chemical spills safely and effectively. 

The set embodies the values of safety and cleanliness, which are integral to any successful convenience store. 

This compact and comprehensive kit includes a multi-use bucket with additional safety features, such as cleaning and mixing instructions, an SDS sticker, and PPE. A visibility sticker on the outside of the bucket adds another layer of protection for your employees. Additionally, we provide a visibility vest to encourage customers to proceed with caution around active cleaning areas. 

The products included in the Forecourt First Kit target all the areas on the gas island. 

• Garage Gorilla Pump Cleaner blasts through heavy grime and diesel stains without violating the gas pump manufacturer’s warranty. 
• Garage Gorilla Pump Shine enhances the gas pump’s appearance and adds a protective layer to shield it from new residue. 
• Garage Gorilla Odor Killer eliminates foul smells from trash receptacles. 
• Garage Gorilla XDX removes heavy grease and oil stains from concrete and asphalt. 

Indoor Program: Zone Cleaning with an All-Purpose Cleaner

Maintaining the safety and cleanliness of your indoor areas is also essential to helping your C-Store customers feel welcomed. Clean kitchens, sales floors, and bathrooms are crucial to building a loyal customer base. 

Your staff can use Grease Zone All-Purpose Cleaner in multiple zones, from food-service areas to restrooms. Simply spray and wipe the surface to clean. Grease Zone All-Purpose Cleaner’s simplicity and versatility provide a unique advantage over competitors by cutting labor costs and increasing durability and quality.
