Many of the properties here are located on large lots that feature recent asphalt as well as separate convenience stores. These stores are often built in the style of an old train depot, with a faux bell tower or turret on top of a sloping wood shaker style roof. The front of the building has numerous large windows which illuminate the goods inside while also creating opportunities for advertising for local products or events. Depending on when the building was built, the doors may slide open automatically, or it may be a door with a bell on it which jingles when the door is manually opened. Either way, the stores traditionally are air conditioned and have a series of refrigerated cases which are perfect for the display of different goods.

Leasing

Anyone lucky enough to lease a gas station in this city will enjoy the array of customers that come through the door each day. Travelers heading into the major metropolis will undoubtedly appreciate a break from the intense traffic, while commuters heading out for a vacation in the country will want to stock up on all kinds of supplies, from snacks to drinks to magazines.

The sheer number of bodies of water in this area means that during the seasonal months many motorists will be towing boats and other nautical craft on their way to a day on the lake or pond. Many of those who lease become experts in understanding how to prepare for fueling multiple vehicles at a time, some of which can be reached with a gas pump, and others which require that the fuel be dispensed into a can or other mobile object. Although the convenience store traditionally stocks food and sundries, many operators in this region also tend to have a few automotive or mechanical supplies on hand, such as belts, specialized lights, and other engine-related products such as motor oil.

Signage in this region tends to be either mounted on a sandwich board low to the ground on the sidewalk directly next to the station, or it is mounted on a pole twelve to twenty feet above the ground in the form of an electronic illuminated sign. These illuminated signs are often placed several yards away from the station in order to alert motorists that there is a facility, and provide them with enough time to slow down and turn in to the property. The sandwich board signs are mainly there to give motorists who frequent the property an idea of how much each grade of gas is, and reflect the reliable amount of local traffic that frequents the business.

Route 60 and Route 2 run directly through town, and several major roads, including Interstate 95, are within a few miles.
