Traffic Type Matters More Than Traffic Count
A through-route site sees volume but often a thin basket. A town site sees fewer vehicles and a fuller one. Both can work; they are simply valued from different starting points. What we look for is whether the store inside is genuinely earning or simply existing alongside the pumps.
- Gallons and net fuel margin after card fees and freight
- Inside sales, category mix and the margin behind them
- Beer and wine where licensed, and prepared food where offered
- Supply agreement term and assignment terms
- Tank age, material and monitoring records
- Dispensers, canopy, payment hardware and lot condition
- Whether the land and building are owned or leased

Common questions
- Are rural and highway sites of interest?
- Yes. A site on a through route with a strong store inside can perform better than a town site with weak inside sales. What matters is the mix of fuel margin and inside earnings, not the postcode.
- What if my site also sells beer and wine?
- That usually helps. It widens the basket and the pool of buyers, though it brings the municipal licensing process into the transaction timetable.
- How are the tanks handled?
- A Phase I environmental site assessment is standard, alongside a review of tank age, material and monitoring records. Documented compliance protects value; unknowns cost it.
