    Around here, a number of these stores are owned by people of middle eastern descent. As I understand it, it’s a good business, although it requires long hours and might not be considered a glamorous way to make money by many in the majority culture. Perhaps whites with the money to open a store or franchise tend to attracted to other types of business. Who is behind the counter? At the convenience stores I frequent, it’s often the owner and his family members, because they all work together for the good of the business. And it’s possible (even likely) that a middle-eastern owner is going to be disposed to hiring other people from his culture when hiring outside the family. My former landlord (middle eastern) owned several convenience stores, and my favorite store where I stop in daily is owned by a wonderful gentleman whose parents are from Iraq.
