Data Status

Inside sales, fuel volume, and customer counts are verified against the store's monthly POS closing reports for all twelve months of 2025. The seller's stated $140K monthly inside sales and 90K monthly gallons are confirmed by the actual data, which averages $142,319 and 89,209 gallons. Fuel margin depends on the chosen supply structure and is confirmed in due diligence.

02 The Gross Profit Engine From Verified Sales

At the store's 45% inside margin, the verified $1.71M in inside sales throws off more than three quarters of a million dollars in inside gross profit alone, before fuel and before the kitchen.

ATM income $1,500 per month

Inside + ATM Gross Profit
$786,522

Fuel gross profit lands on top of this. On 1.07M annual gallons, even a modest retained margin per gallon adds materially, and the exact figure depends on which supply structure the operator selects.

03 Operator Economics

Anchored on the verified inside gross profit, against the lease. The spread is wide before the operator layers in payroll and the rest of operating costs.

$786,522
Less lease, Option A $17,000 per month NNN
($204,000)
Contribution Before Fuel, Payroll & Opex
$582,522

From this contribution, the operator applies payroll, utilities, card fees, and NNN costs, and adds fuel gross profit on top. Net reconciles in due diligence. Two lease structures are offered:

Lease Option A
$17,000 / mo NNN

Plus $0.03 per gallon on fuel supply. Lower fixed occupancy, the base case for most operators at this volume.

Lease Option B
$45,000 / mo

Fuel at rack plus $0.01 per gallon. Higher fixed rent, lower per-gallon fuel cost, geared to a high-volume fuel strategy.

The two structures trade monthly occupancy against fuel supply cost. The optimal choice depends on the operator's fuel strategy and is modeled in due diligence.

04 The Kitchen Upside Underutilized
The 7,700 square foot store includes a full kitchen that is currently underutilized. Foodservice carries the highest margins in the box, often 50 to 60 percent. Activating the kitchen layers a high-margin revenue stream onto a store that already moves 653 customers a day, turning existing foot traffic into incremental gross profit without buying a single new customer.

With $150,000 of inventory inside the price, the effective cost of the business itself is closer to $250,000, against a verified $768,000 in annual inside gross profit.

06 The Signal

This is a rare combination: a high-volume, branded c-store with the books already proven. The $140K monthly inside sales and 90K monthly gallons are not estimates, they are confirmed across all twelve months of 2025.

For $400,000, with $150,000 of that already sitting in inventory, an operator acquires a store generating $768,000 in verified inside gross profit, plus fuel and ATM income, against a $204,000 lease.

The full kitchen is the operator's built-in upside, ready to convert existing traffic into high-margin food sales. Strong proven base, real margin, and a clear lever to grow it.
