Transaction Details:
Rare low-cost entry opportunity for a buyer to take over an operating interstate-exit gas station with a full kitchen, existing sales, and no goodwill premium. Buyer only pays for inventory plus a $20,000 acquisition fee.
Inside sales (last 12 months): ~$46,000/month
Fuel sales: 19,000+ gallons/month
Margins: ~$0.30/gallon (gas) and ~$0.75/gallon (diesel)
This store previously performed significantly higher:
2024: ~$92,000/month inside sales and 45,000+ gallons
Previous dealer: ~$106,000/month inside sales and 81,000 gallons
The drop is due to lack of active management, creating clear upside potential.
Rent: $14,900 NNN/month
Structure: Sublease with ~8 years remaining
The store is currently near break-even due to absentee management and ~$7,000/month payroll, offering strong upside for an owner-operator.

Geographic Details:
Located off a State Highway and Interstate-22 near Winfield, Alabama, offering strong visibility and access to both local and highway traffic.
Limited competition in the immediate trade area allows room for growth through better service, food quality, and pricing.

Ivan K. Hill Recreation Park
Residential communities and lodging
Winfield High School (~500 students)
Bevill State Community College (~1,800 students)
Demographics:
Population growth: ~2.4% annually
Median household income: ~$50,000
Combined with interstate exposure, this supports consistent local and traveler demand.
Why This Deal Stands Out:
This is a low-entry, high-upside opportunity — not a high-goodwill purchase.
Key Advantages:
Zero goodwill cost
Only inventory + $20,000 fee
Existing sales and fuel volume
Full kitchen in place
Interstate exit location
~8 years remaining on lease
Absentee management upside
Potential payroll savings
Strong opportunity to improve food, merchandising, and operations
Additional Opportunity:
Seller owns another gas station within 15 minutes.
Option to purchase one or both for a multi-store setup.
Seller cannot actively manage both — creating a strong opportunity for the right buyer.
