Additional Information
Reason for Selling: Owner is consolidating entrepreneurial efforts into another industry and is looking to reallocate funds to concentrate in that industry.
Business Description: Market share continues to grow. Sales are strong and the store are well industry average. Although current owner has a very qualified staff in place, you as a new owner can manage directly on site, and hence may expect business to further increase based on personable relations with client base and close supervision.
Potential for Growth: Further expansion may be derived through more traditional means of growing gas station sales. Ideas such as customer appreciation days, grand opening, up selling at register and pumps, in store promotions and market segmentation practices should held grow business as well. It is recommended by this author that all people new to the gas and convenience store industry advance their knowledge through the National Association of Convenience Store, the Florida retail gas station owner association and other petroleum or snack store associations.
