The Importance of Liquor Liability for Convenience Stores

The market size for the convenience store industry was $44 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow. USLI can help you capitalize on this growing industry!

Many convenience stores selling alcohol don’t think they need liquor liability coverage since the alcohol is consumed off-premises; however, offering a liquor liability quote to these establishments will provide the protection they need and protect your own errors and omissions insurance. Plus, we make quoting this product quick and easy with few questions, several quoting options and a high bind ratio!
