Extreme weather events have created unique and significant challenges when it comes to energy infrastructure. These challenges have resulted in an overburdened electric grid and, in turn, regional power outages across the country.
Keep Your Power On and Your Business Running
Preventing loss of product, loss of customer confidence and security concerns are just some of the reasons why Managed Generator Services is the preferred generator partner for the grocery, gas station and convenience store industry.

Gas stations are a necessity during a power outage
Countless studies show that when disaster strikes, gas sales increase. While one might assume customer’s “hunker down” the reality is that people continue to need to get to work, continue their road trip or run out for convenient necessities making gas stations a key destination during power outages. When a customer sees the bright, neon lights of an OPEN gas station during a power outage, it brings feelings of relief and refuge and, as a consequence, drives revenue.
Having a professionally installed and maintained backup generator is essential during a power outage to ensure gas pumps are operational and customers can be rung up to pay.
Additionally, the loss of perishable goods that expire or must be thrown out for food safety considerations results in a loss of $62.5 Million dollars a year.

My generator is the single most important investment I have here.
Not only does it keep my doors open, fuel running and perishables viable, it also makes me the unofficial center of town during an outage. My neighbors know I’m going to be open for business, which makes me feel good about contributing to my community and I see a surge in revenue.

Additional benefits of backup power
Apart from ensuring you’ll never lose out on potential sales and protect yourself against costly inventory loss due to food safety requirements, a backup generator plays a key role in:
Establishing Business Continuity
Generators provides a much needed relief for sewage services in the event of a major storm or hurricane, when the power grid is most vulnerable and local area precipitation is high. Managed Generator works on a contract basis to repair and service lift stations throughout the Southeast
Peace of Mind
Knowing your business will always be open provides you with invaluable peace of mind. No more restless worrying before or during a storm about your business’s ability to operate.
Assisting Your Community
While revenue generation and inventory loss prevention are key drivers to a backup generator investment, you can feel good about being a reliable destination in your community, providing your neighbors with the fuel and food they need in an emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do grocery stores and gas stations need a different generator approach than other businesses?
Because the consequences show up fast: refrigeration risk, high customer volume, transaction flow, and safety concerns. These sites often need a tighter maintenance rhythm and clearer outage readiness planning.
What should we be testing, not just “starting,” on generator day?
A basic start test is not enough. You want to verify the generator can carry the loads that matter for your operation and that any issues are caught early, before an outage forces the problem.
How often should we service our generator?
Most sites follow a scheduled plan based on manufacturer recommendations, usage, and conditions. The goal is consistency so batteries, filters, fluids, and known wear items do not become surprise failures.
What documentation should we keep?
Keep maintenance records, testing results, and notes on any faults or corrective actions. Documentation should be easy to retrieve and clear enough that a third party can understand what happened and when.
Can you help multi-location operators keep generator programs consistent?
Yes, the main focus becomes standardizing testing schedules, documentation habits, and how issues are escalated so every site follows the same reliability baseline.
