Highest convenience stores by state

Convenience stores.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Convenience stores, counted separately from supermarkets. Read the two together: in a county with no supermarket these are where food is actually bought, and that usually means higher prices and less fresh food for the people living there. Establishments rather than chains, and inside the county line only.
