FAQ
What to Know Before Buying a Convenience Store in Southern Ontario
The OLG lottery terminal is associated with the business location, not the owner. When ownership transfers, the new owner applies to OLG for a new retailer agreement at the same location. Approval is typically straightforward for established locations and takes 4–8 weeks. The terminal remains operational during the transition period.
We require POS sales reports, bank deposit summaries, and 3 years of tax returns as part of standard due diligence. For lottery income, the OLG monthly commission statements provide exact figures. Tobacco sales can be verified against supplier invoices. Our team walks you through the verification process step by step.
Many owners manage their convenience store semi-absentee with 1–2 full-time and 1–2 part-time staff. Key to success is strong staff management and a reliable POS system with remote monitoring. Owner-presence is typically highest in the first 3–6 months of acquisition before systems are fully optimized.
