Your Outdoor Maintenance Checklist

  • Trash Patrol: Empty outdoor bins frequently, sweep up litter, and clean spills around the pumps.
  • Landscaping Love: Trim overgrown bushes, mow the lawn, and remove weeds, especially around the entryway.
  • Shine Bright: Ensure all exterior lights work. A well-lit store feels safer and more welcoming.
  • Pump Perfection: Clean fuel pump handles, check for leaks and ensure signage is visible.
  • Walkway Watch: Inspect parking lots and sidewalks for cracks or trip hazards. Fix them ASAP!

Key Takeaways

  • Safety First: Well-maintained lots and walkways prevent accidents and potential lawsuits.
  • Boost Your Brand: A clean exterior reflects positively on your business and builds customer trust.
  • Schedule It: Assign regular maintenance tasks to staff, with seasonal deep cleaning as needed.
