You can buy or development several variations of gas stations. Some are just for gas, some have a small store, and some have a car wash or an auto repair store.
When most people think of a "gas station," they're picturing a retail gas station. These stations sell fuel to everyday drivers, typically offering options like regular, premium, and diesel. In addition to fuel, many retail gas stations also feature a convenience store, providing a range of snacks, drinks, and other essentials for customers on the go.
Cardlock gas stations are mostly for businesses with trucks or big fleets of vehicles. Drivers use a special card to pay for the gas, not cash or a regular credit card. They only sell diesel fuel.
Some gas stations have both retail and cardlock pumps. This can be a good way to attract many different types of customers.
Many gas stations have a small store attached called a "convenience store," “variety store” or "c-store." They sell things like snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and lottery tickets. Having a c-store is a great way to bring in additional revenue for your gas station.
Some gas stations have a fast-food restaurant inside or attached to them. This could be a popular chain (like Tim Hortons or A&W) or a local restaurant.
Some gas stations have extra services like a car wash, a garage to fix cars, or even a propane filling station. These extra services can help you make more money.
Traffic: How many cars drive by each day? More traffic usually means more potential customers, if the gas station is accessible.
Visibility: Can people easily see the gas station from the road?
Easy access: Can cars easily drive in and out of the gas station?
Competition: Are there other gas stations nearby? Too many close by might mean fewer customers for you.
Neighbourhood: Is the gas station in a safe area? Are there homes or businesses nearby?
Condition: Does the building look well-maintained? Are the pumps and other equipment in good working order?
Size: Is the gas station big enough for what you want to do? Do you need a lot of space for cars or extra services?
Storage tanks: How old are the underground storage tanks? Older tanks might need to be replaced soon, which can be expensive.
C-store: If there's a convenience store, is it clean and well-stocked? Does it have enough space?
Sales: Ask the seller to show you the gas station's sales records for the past few years. This will help you see if the business is doing well.
Expenses: Look at the gas station's expenses, like rent, electricity, and employee salaries. This will help you understand how much money the gas station is really making.
Contracts: Does the gas station have contracts with any suppliers or other businesses?
Licenses: Make sure the gas station has all the necessary licenses and permits to operate.
Both small towns and big cities can be good places to buy a gas station. A small town might have less competition, but a big city might have more customers.
