Buying

In Bedford, convenience stores aren’t small affairs that act as an afterthought to the gas station: they are often two stories in height, with multiple suites on the first and second floor that cater to retailers who are interested in turning a substantial profit.

While not all stations have such a large and prominent retail center, the ones that do often feature a fast food retailer on the ground floor, with a large grocery-type store in the space next to it. This space may also have room for automotive parts, such as headlights, tail lights, or tires. Office space for administration and potentially other businesses is located on the second story. The building itself is made of substantial materials, with a brick exterior and triple-pane glass windows that keep it handily insulated.

In many cases, the front features a glassed-in enclosure that is capable of displaying numerous goods, from food related items to automotive parts. Automatic sliding doors welcome patrons and make it easy for them to leave after paying for their goods at the clerk station. Many of these stations are built for several clerks to occupy at once, with multiple registers lined up in a row. Other stores place check-out points across from each other as a way to encourage customers to wander the store and not feel that they have to arrive at a certain destination while they are shopping, and can purchase their goods whenever they are ready.

Leasing

Those individuals who are pondering leasing a gas station in Bedford have chosen wisely. In addition to the gorgeous woodlands and tight-knit community, this city has a number of stations located close to the downtown, which often translates into a steady cash flow from locals who are seeking minor repairs to their vehicles, regular refuelings, and a place to quickly buy a few snacks or cool beverages.

Many of these stations are so well positioned that they do not bother to mount an illuminated sign, instead opting for a sign low to the ground which displays the prices of the different grades of gas. This sign is often manually adjusted, with physical numbers that must be moved by hand. However, the station is so well known that it does not require tremendous amounts of advertising, as it has a reliable source of regular patrons.

Aside from the pumps, which do not always have an overhead canopy, the store and service component of the property is usually housed in a low slung brick building that is sited at the rear of the property. This structure often has a wood shaker style roof and enormous front display windows that are filled with banners advertising various services and components that are for sale. Vending machines often are installed along the front of the structure, and sell goods ranging from bottled waters and sodas to dry snacks. A hot coffee dispenser is traditionally installed inside the store, where it can be carefully monitored by the staff.

Geographical Location

Located roughly 20 miles from downtown Boston, this city is practically encircled by interstates and other frequently traveled roads. Route 3, which branches directly off Interstate 95, passes through the northeastern sector of the city, while Route 62, Route 4, and Route 225 provide access to the other corners. Bordered by the cities of Billerica to the northeast, Burlington the southeast, Concord to the southwest, and Carlisle to the northwest, this circular-shaped town has several natural features that act as draws for visitors and residents both. The Elm Brook Conservation Area and Hartwell Town Forest are both located off Route 62, while Route 225 breezes past the Carlson Conservation Area. Route 4 heads directly through the center of the city, and passes the Frost Conservation Area as well as Page Field. Depot Park can be reached via Loomis Street, while the Shawsheen River Conservation Area is located directly next to Route 3. Fawn Lake, the Murray York Conservation Area, and the Wilderness Park can be reached via Sweetwater Avenue. The Narrow Gauge Rail Trail provides access to Buehler Ponds, and eventually winds its way to the center of town, where it crosses Elm Brook.
