by Danny Desjardin, from the Community

This area manager store audit template helps evaluate retail store performance across safety, operations, and merchandising. Review Covid 19 measures, staff coverage, and adherence to mask and hygiene policies. Check FSE setup, coding charts, inventory availability, and accuracy of CAT screen product status. Verify signage currency and condition for campaigns, doors, bakery, express, cold box, warmers, and backroom. Inspect merchandising for bakery, express case, grocery, tobacco, shippers, coffee island, gift cards, and self serve beverages. Assess maintenance including lighting, landscaping, windows, floors, trash, bathrooms, vents, cooler glides, and vestibules. Include fuel court checks for kiosk cleanliness, signage, air pump, misfill notices, and pump pricing accuracy to ensure consistent brand standards.
