How to Start a Gas StationStarting a Gas StationSummary: Get a general idea on how a gas station operates. This article is for those who plan on putting up their own gas station. It also provides information on the different types of gas stations and gas brands. A gas station is a solid investment because public demand for fuel is constant.
But before you set off, it is a must for you to acquire an expert understanding of the trade. Knowledge is a surefire way to counteract problems often associated with any start-up business endeavor. Products of Gas StationGasoline and diesel are two most common types of fuel sold in any gas station. However, since the advent of environmental awareness, other gas stations deemed it fit to carry alternative fuels such as bio-diesel, hybrid fuel, hydrogen fuel, and ethanol. Other products typically sold are liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas. Premium vs. DiscountIn the US, gas stations are classified into two groups: those that carry premium brands and those that carry discount brands. Some of the more recognized premium brands are Exxon, Chevron, Texaco, Valero, BP, Citago, Shell, BP, and Sinclair. Notice that all these brands are international gasoline brands. Some local brands however are also categorized as premium. For example, Petrobras, ESSO, PENEX, and Petro-Canada. What sets a premium gas station apart is its visibility. They have a branch in almost every corner and they make use of tall signs showcasing their familiar brand logo. They also have brighter lighting. The service they offer is top notch and they aim to provide convenience for their customers. Often, they are cleaner and more modern. Discount brands, on the other hand, are quite smaller independent stations. Often they are considered as regional chains. Some examples of discount gas stations are Rotten Robbie, Valero, ARCO, and USA Gasoline. Their gas prices are usually lower compared to the premium brands. This is why many buy wholesale gas from them. In terms of location and visibility, discount gas stations are few and far between. They are typically located a good distance from freeway exits and highways. Their services are not up to par with premium brands as well as their technology. The A-B-C’sA - Begin by finding an ideal location for your gas station. The best way to go is setting it up in a high traffic area. You may seek the assistance of local realtors. The usually know more about sale listings. Once you have viewed the property and it has passed your criteria, commit to it. B - After you have secured a location, you can now focus your attention to finding a good source for your product. Talk to as many oil company representatives as you can. This will enable you to compare rates. Upon finding the best deal, have a solicitor review the contract for you. Caution must be observed on the legal aspects of the deal. Get in touch with the local state agencies and file all the mandatory paperwork such as license and permits. Also, get in touch with the local fire department and find out what their requirements are and make sure your gas station meets these requirements. C - Create a working business plan. Make sure you include a provision on monitoring cash flow. Also, include marketing techniques to promote your gas station. 224 Responses to "How to Start a Gas Station".

All our gas and diesel will be above ground and non-branded is what we are looking for. Does anyone supply everything except the gas? Do you know about what we are looking at in price? Thank you.

35. James on 8/31/2009 8:11:14 AM
@Emeka Akpatulu, It is better that you prepare a business plan for your business. It is not wise to produce a sample business plan to your banker for loan. Most likely you will not get the loan. There are tons of existing gas stations are selling already. If you are interested to buy then go to www.bizbuysell.com

Hi, One of my closet friend has opened a Filling station for biodiesel near panvel, navi mumbai, india a year ago. It has not been successful, and unfortunately, the location is in a remote place, and which ever tanker comes, they already come filled up, so no one halts at his filling station. also, the people who do come once a while say that biodiesel is too expensive and go away. can u pls suggest, what can he do? what marketing strategy should he use? I will appreciate your reply. Thanks.

I have been previously in the c store gas station business. I sold it about 2 years ago. I would like to go into that business again but this time i want to build it from ground up. If the location is identified, where do I start? should I talk to a gas company and see what they offer and then take my business plan to the bank. Another question is that I heard that some gas companies will install the gas equipment for you at their expense and sign u up for a bonus every year if you sign a contract with them to sell so many gallons a year. How true is that? Thank you

Jonesboro, La. I found a station that has been closed down for 4 to 5 years. My husband and I are thinking of purchasing it. I have no knowledge of the running or permits for the station. I haven't even ever worked in one. Do the tanks have to be updated? Where would I find the information on the updates? The owner doesn't seem to know much about the station at all, he lives in another state and had it run by someone else. We also would like to sell beer and tobacco products as well as lottery. Where do I get the proper permits?

Hi. i am a self employed businessman in Witbank, Mphumalanga, South Africa. I would like to open a filling station in a busy area. Could you kindly provide me with the contact details of the suppliers & the starting capital needed to open a filling station. I have already acquired a property for the filling station to be erected.

Honestly it is not easy to open a filling station without enough money( a couple of millions - the cheapest I have seen here in SA is R1.6 mil abt USD200,000.00)+ business experience, especially when one wants to go with big branded companies. It takes long to build a brand hence it does not come cheap. My advise is start small with a small business of your own, if you do not have experience to run a business go "franchise" - it gives you benefits from both worlds ( protection and experience) but expect to pay up to 10% of your revenue to the franchiser, some rules and still remember it's not easy to be part of many franchises. Another option is to go for a resale of a small existing "non-branded" filling station - not easy to find and work you way up. Partnering with someone is often something we do not consider and actually it works. Going alone is not always the best option. Contact me for any advise.

i have a very large tract of land which i intend to start a gas station with, and i am looking for investors who will be interested and ready to come down to view it so that we can draw a business plan to put the project in motion. This land is in a very lucrative business district in the Northern Part of Ghana. I am also looking for investors who want to go into salt production, we have an abandoned salt factory in Ada, one of the top salt producing areas in Ghana. this is also a lucrative business since we export some of the salt to neighboring African countries. Anyone interested should contact me on: +233246309026 or thigame@hotmail.com
