Kedra  +  197087 Wed, 15 Feb 06 02:56 PM As fas as I understood from Wikipedia, this is the store, which sells mainly the first-need products. Typically these stores are located at the gas stations or at the roads. I was asked to compose the description of the accounting software for such a store.  I wonder what native speakers think of when they hear "Convenience Store"? Do they relate it to gas stations? Or does this term cover all the small shops which sell first-need products? If I call the software by "Convenience Store Accounting Software", will I be understood? Thanks.
