Investment Opportunity

This property provides several income streams under one roof:

Convenience Store + Fuel + Gaming + Food

The store is already producing approximately $55,000 per month in inside sales without alcohol, which is noteworthy for a dry-market operation. Gaming provides an additional approximately $8,000 per month net income, while the existing kitchen provides further growth potential.

A hands-on owner could potentially increase profitability through expanded food service, better inventory control, additional promotions, stronger merchandising, extended kitchen hours, and increased fuel marketing.

The existing fuel agreement has only approximately 18 months remaining, which may also provide a future owner an opportunity to evaluate new branding, supply, rebate, or incentive programs when the agreement expires.

Reason for Sale

Owner has other business interests and operates this location absentee.
