Project Stm25 – Fuel And Retail Business
Business Description
The company operates a strategically located fuel and retail business serving both permanent residents and a large seasonal population drawn to the region’s lakes, trails, and outdoor attractions. As the recreational zone’s full-service stop, it offers essential products—fuel for vehicles and boats, propane, and convenience items—to local homeowners, tourists, and outdoor enthusiasts. With steady weekday traffic and predictable weekend surges, the site is designed for easy access by trailers and boats and features seasonal merchandising and prominent roadside visibility. Well-positioned for growth, the business offers expansion potential.

Inventory and FF&E are estimated at $80K–$120K and $150K–$200K, respectively.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The business benefits from limited direct competition in a growing recreational region. It serves as the last major stop before lake access, trails, and cottage areas, securing steady local and seasonal traffic. Customers include homeowners, tourists, campers, and snowmobilers. Demand is consistent on weekdays and surges on weekends and holidays, supported by location, convenience, and product mix.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Growth opportunities include adding EV charging stations, expanding premium grocery and seasonal products, and developing fleet fuel programs. Digital ordering and delivery services could boost convenience and sales. Strategic partnerships with local businesses, enhanced marketing, and extended operating hours would further capture demand from the area’s growing permanent and seasonal population.
