This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, nationally recognized, branded gas station with a convenience store, U-Haul franchise, and valuable real estate. This well-established business has a strong operating history and offers significant upside for an owner-operator or investor. According to the seller, the station pumps over 70,000 gallons of fuel per month, while maintaining a gross margin of 70¢ to $1.00 per gallon. The convenience store generates over $60,000 in monthly sales with approximately 35% gross margins. In addition, the U-Haul operation produces an average of $5,000 per month in net income and benefits from the property’s large lot, which accommodates multiple rental trucks. Located at a busy intersection with excellent visibility and easy access, this property enjoys strong traffic counts and a loyal customer base. A new owner can further increase revenue by adding EBT services and beer & wine sales, creating additional profit opportunities with minimal investment. Historically, this station generated over $150,000 in monthly inside sales, and there is strong potential to return to those levels by implementing a more competitive fuel pricing strategy and reducing fuel margins to increase volume.

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating automotive and boat business acquisitions.
Gas stations, repair shops, and car washes handle fuel, solvents, and wastewater, and remediation can run six or seven figures. A Phase I, tank records, and permit history tell you whether you're buying a business or a cleanup.
Lifts, wash tunnels, fuel systems, and lined tanks have finite lives and expensive replacements. Ask age, maintenance history, and what's been deferred.
Much of an automotive business is its corner — traffic, access, and a transferable lease. A great shop on a short or non-assignable lease is a problem you inherit.
A repair shop with a loyal service base is worth more than a lot living on deal volume. Get the repeat-customer rate, not just the top line.
Dealer licenses, certified techs, and manufacturer or fuel-brand agreements may not transfer automatically. Confirm what passes and what you must re-earn.
In smaller shops the owner is the master tech and the relationships. Identify who holds the skill and the customers and what retention looks like after close.
