Business Description
Thanks for the information. Let's break this down into a simple financial analysis of the gas supplier proposal so you can evaluate whether it's a good deal.
CURRENT SITUATIONMonthly Sales: $45,000
Annual Sales: $45,000 × 12 = $540,000/year
Gaming Revenue (Owner’s Share): $63,000/year
Rent: $1,500/month = $18,000/year
We can assume the business is profitable to some extent, but you're now evaluating the Gas Supplier Proposal.
GAS SUPPLIER PROPOSAL SUMMARYGas Supplier will:
Invest $800,000 into converting your location into a gas station.
Pay 5¢ per gallon sold to you.
Own all gas-related assets for 10 years, after which you own them outright.
Financial Analysis of ProposalLet's look at key variables:
Let’s denote:
G = gallons of gas sold per month
Your income from gas = G × $0.05 × 12 months
To match your current gaming income ($63,000/year), you’d need:
×G×12=63,000⇒G=0.663,000=105,000 gallons/yearSo, you'd need to sell 105,000 gallons per year, or 8,750 gallons per month, to match your gaming revenue.
Benchmark: The average U.S. gas station sells around 50,000 to 100,000 gallons/month, so 8,750 is relatively low and achievable with decent traffic.
You receive $800,000 in gas station assets at the end of the 10-year contract.
If well maintained, this can include tanks, pumps, signage, and station improvements.
That’s $80,000/year in long-term value, not including the cash flow.
You don't pay anything for the investment.
You only receive income per gallon and future asset ownership.
Pros & Cons Summary Pros |
Cons |
|---|---|
| No upfront investment | Locked in for 10 years |
| $0.05/gallon recurring revenue | You don’t control gas prices or supplier terms |
| $800,000 in future assets | Possible maintenance or insurance obligations |
| Could drive foot traffic to the store | Construction could disrupt the current business temporarily |
Key Questions Before DecidingHow many gallons/month is realistic at your location?
Check traffic counts, competitors, and demand.
Who maintains the equipment during the 10 years?
Maintenance costs can be significant.
Can you continue your store/gaming operation normally during and after conversion?
You don’t want to lose other income sources.
Any guarantees or minimum sales required?
Some suppliers require performance thresholds.
Bottom Line:If your location can easily support 9,000–10,000 gallons/month, this could replace or even exceed your gaming income, boost foot traffic, and get you $800K in assets after 10 years — all at no upfront cost.
It could be a very good long-term deal if the gas
volume is there and the contract terms are fair.
