Gas Station Tips?

[Liz Lynn]

Hi everyone! I am in the very early stages of looking at a commercial property to invest in. It is currently an abandoned cafe about 25 min from greenville, and I would love to fix it up and get it back in business. It's sitting on 1.5 acres and right off a state road in between a few big towns. The closest gas stations are 3, 4, and 5 miles away. I plan to sell convenience items as well as fresh produce, baked goods, and hot meals. I am also thinking about having rental trucks on site too. I don't know much about gas stations though so if anyone has any tips or stuff to look out for I would appreciate it as I look more into it. I am also considering just running the convenience shop for awhile and later adding in the gas station if it makes sense. TIA!
