Step 1: Qualifying
We will start by getting to know more about you. Shortly after you contact us, our pre-qualification specialist will reach out to you so we can learn if ARCO and ampm franchising is a good fit for you.
Below are a few basic questions you can expect:
- Are you a U.S. citizen or permanent resident?
- Do you have excellent credit?
- Do you have a location in mind?
- If so, do you have a site plan?
- What is your timeframe to invest?
- Do you have gas experience?
- Do you have c-store experience?
- Do you now or have you ever owned your own business?
Step 2: Franchise Assessment
Great! After we determine that you are a good fit, a franchise recruiter will meet with you to discuss potential franchise locations along with other business details and next steps.
Step 3: Site Evaluation
Now that you've met with our franchise recruiter, they will use what they learned about your proposed site for preliminary evaluations. Once the preliminary review is conducted, the next step is to continue evaluations via committee.
Step 4: Study and Analysis
Congratulations! By now you have completed the application. As we evaluate your application, we continue our analysis of your existing gas station and c-store.
