Convenience Store and Gas Station Insurance in Waynesville NC & Canton NC

Convenience stores are important businesses for customers on the go. No matter what you're selling or what they're looking for -- whether it's gasoline, beverages, snacks, magazines, coffee, toiletries, medicine or tobacco -- you provide a valuable service for your community.

But with any convenience store, there's so much happening, which leaves you to open to all kinds of threats. In terms of your employees alone, consider the possibilities: An employee could have a workplace accident, or steal from the business, or fail to check an ID and sell alcohol to a minor (who in turn could end up in a car accident).

Secure yourself from exposures liable in your industry with convenience store insurance from Overbay Insurance Services. We offer convenience store and gas station insurance coverage to businesses in Waynesville, Canton, Sylva, Asheville, Franklin, Bryson City and surrounding areas.

Protection For All Kinds of Problems

Every store is different and it's important to understand what your specific needs are. The details of your operation will affect your coverage, such as if you have a grill or pizza shop and sell freshly made food, or if you do auto garage repairs, have a car wash or sell gasoline.
