Buyers who are keen to acquire a station with both fueling pumps and a convenience store are in luck. Many of the properties here are equipped with both, and often are designed so that weary travelers will notice the store as soon as they see the prominent illuminated signage from the road.

Leasing

Many of the properties in this area available for lease were built between 1950 and the present day, which means that some gas stations have a prominent overhang that is attached to a larger building with multiple bays, while others occupy a much larger lot with a clear separation between the primary fueling area and the administrative offices and convenience store module.

The former type of building usually takes the form of a rectangle with a flat roof. Each bay is denoted by a garage door which rolls up into the ceiling. Many of these buildings have removed the interior walls which separated one bay from another, creating a large open space which can either be used to service vehicles or store additional parts. Some of these places have converted this area into a full service store, removing all industrial equipment and inserting a number of shelves instead.

Many of these stations are located very close to residential neighborhoods, and often have a substantial number of local clientele who frequent the store for sundries. In some cases, the store may become a kind of de facto coffee shop for the neighborhood, especially if the owner installs a self-serve coffee vending machine. These machines make it easy to select different blends and dispense them via a lever that the customer pulls. If enough space is left around the machine, or a small set up of chairs and benches is created outside, residents may often gather here in the mornings and buy numerous cups of coffee while conversing with other residents.

Travelers appreciate the convenience of being able to pull into a well-lit station, fuel their vehicle, and select any number of prepackaged snacks and beverages. The newer stores, which traditionally do not have separate bays but rather feature a long storefront window, are also usually stocked with a coffee machine. These newer stores may also have air conditioning, as well as central heating during the winter months. The size of the space varies depending on its specific locale and original date of construction. Many convenience stores generally have at least 800 square feet of space, although some are three or four times that size.

Geographical Location

Located roughly 20 miles south of Boston, this charming town is surrounded by several other bustling cities, including Holbrook to the east, Randolph to the north, Brockton to the south, and Stoughton to the west. The region is crossed by several different major transit routes, including Route 28 and Route 24. Route 24, also known as the Fall River Expressway, passes very close to the largest body of water within the city limits, which is known as the Brockton Reservoir. This reservoir borders the DW Field Park, which itself is dotted with small ponds. Route 28, meanwhile, passes directly through the center of downtown in a north-south direction.
