Industries We Serve
Convenience Stores
Convenience stores are often bustling hubs of activity, with customers constantly coming and going to purchase snacks, drinks, and other items. However, a busy parking lot can quickly become run down and unappealing, making it a safety hazard for customers.
The Pavement Group recently completed a project in South Carolina to help resolve similar issues at a convenience store. Our team works closely with facility managers to develop a comprehensive pavement maintenance plan and provide high-quality services that keep parking lots safe and visually appealing.

At The Pavement Group, we understand the unique needs of convenience stores and offer a range of services to help maintain their parking lots. These include:

Common Challenges and How We Overcame Them
Challenge #1: Minimizing Downtime
Facility managers at convenience stores do not want to close business or suffer any downtime for pavement maintenance services. This is understandable, as closing for even a short period of time can mean lost revenue and customer inconvenience.
Our Solution:
To minimize downtime, we work closely with store managers to schedule pavement maintenance services during off-peak hours and low traffic times. This ensures that the store remains open and that customers can access the convenience store without any disruption.
Challenge #2: Maintaining
Safety
Convenience stores are busy places with heavy foot and vehicle traffic. This requires special attention to safety during pavement maintenance services to prevent any accidents or injuries.
Our Solution:
We prioritize safety in our pavement maintenance services by using caution signs, barricades, notices, and other safety measures to alert customers and employees of potential hazards. Our experienced crew also follows strict safety protocols to ensure a safe work environment.
Challenge #3: Working Around Existing Structures
Many convenience stores include gas pumps, awnings, and other structures in their parking lots that cannot be moved or disrupted during pavement maintenance. This requires careful planning and execution to avoid damaging these structures while completing maintenance activities.
Our Solution:
Our team is skilled at working around existing structures without causing any damage. We carefully plan the work and use specialized equipment to ensure these structures are not affected during pavement maintenance services.
How We Achieve Long-Lasting Sealcoating Results
Sealcoating is an essential part of parking lot maintenance, and it’s crucial to ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Here are a few ways we achieve long-lasting sealcoating results:
- Proper Preparation: Before sealcoating, we thoroughly clean the surface and repair cracks or potholes. This ensures a strong bond between the sealcoat and the pavement, preventing premature wearing.
- Timely Application: Sealcoating should be applied when weather conditions are favorable, typically in dry and warm weather. This allows for proper curing and prevents any issues with the final result.
- Dry Time: We allow plenty of time for the first coat to dry before applying a second coat, ensuring maximum durability and longevity. Proper drying time also prevents any potential issues with the sealcoat, such as bubbling or fading.
