Rare low-cost entry opportunity to acquire an operating interstate-exit gas station with existing inside sales, strong fuel volume, diesel sales, a shower, and zero goodwill premium. Buyer only pays for inventory plus a $20,000 acquisition fee.
Inside sales (last 12 months): $49,500+/month
Fuel sales: 33,000+ gallons/month
Margins: ~$0.30/gallon (gas) and $0.75/gallon (diesel)
2024 performance:
Inside sales ~$55,000/month with similar fuel volume.
Previous operator achieved $65,000/month inside sales and 85,400 gallons/month.
Rent: $9,800 NNN/month
Structure: Sublease (approx. 8 years remaining)
Key Advantage:
No goodwill cost — only inventory + $20,000 fee.
The store is currently near break-even due to absentee management and ~$7,000/month payroll, creating strong upside for an owner-operator.
