Strategic Alliance for Affiliated Store Owners of America (SAASOA) is a non-profit organization serving gas station, convenience store, smoke shop, and liquor store owners. We help our members access the best deals, discounts, and rebates available, saving them money and boosting their bottom line.

Founded in 2012 with just 25 member sites in Alabama, SAASOA has grown into the most trusted alliance representing over 5,150 stores across 13 states in the Southern, Eastern, and Midwestern U.S.

But we’re more than just a buying group. We bring educational resources, legislative grassroots efforts, networking opportunities, promote our vendors’ products, support our members with technology and marketing tools, and keep them informed on the latest retail trends. Our goal is to level the playing field for small and independent businesses, helping them grow, compete, and succeed.

Our vision goes beyond business. We aim to build a supportive community where owners grow not only financially, but also personally, rooted in unity, cultural values, and shared success.

We’re not just a network. We’re a movement.
Join us. Grow with us. Win with us.
