Asking Price $750'000
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.
Monthly 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 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.
Let'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.

Could drive foot traffic to the store | Construction could disrupt the current business temporarily |
How 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.
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.
