AAQ - Medicine Hat Convenience Stores & Gas Stations

The following is my latest response to an "Ask a Question":

Hello and thank you for using the “Ask A Question” service.

You are inquiring about how many convenience stores and gas stations there are in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

To find these numbers, we referred to the “Alberta Business Directory” in the Reference Collection of the Vera Bracken Library – call number: HF 5072 A4 A63 2007/08. This directory will list most businesses in Alberta by city or by business category.

We looked up the convenience stores (naturally under the “Convenience Stores” category) and found that there are 15 convenience stores – refer to page 772 of the directory. On page 1299 of the directory, you will discover that there are 29 businesses in Medicine Hat that fall under the category of “Service Stations-Gasoline & Oil”. There is some overlapping between the two lists.

You can also refer to: www.infocanada.ca. This site is the online version of the printed directory, though you might have to pay for some information that you would find for free in the print version.

Thank you again for using the “Ask A Question” service. If you need more help, please use the service again or see the Information Desk in the Medicine Hat College Library (phone #: (403) 529-3867).

AAQ#:36945
