Many of the lots here are relatively compact, but they are sited close to heavily traveled intersections. Typically, the fueling pumps are stationed closest to the road, with a wide berth of concrete or asphalt placed between the convenience store or service station. This wide patch of concrete often functions as a place to park additional vehicles or as maneuvering room for large trucks and cargo vehicles that are attempting to park next to the pumps.

The stations often have a large overhang or canopy that shelters the vehicles from the weather and the sun. In the more experimental stations, this canopy may be angled or adopt a highly stylized curvature to attract motorists with its unique architectural presentation. The service station tends to be outfitted with between two to five bays, each of which may handle different specific portions of the repair process, from changing tires to changing oil to fixing individual engine problems.

Leasing

Leasing a gas station in Braintree is about both the location and the amenities of the property. Many operators prefer a property that has an attached convenience store, as this functions as a reliable generator of income not only among visiting motorists but local residents who may wander over to the shop during the morning for a cup of coffee or a snack late at night. The impact of regional traffic on revenue should never be discounted. Although travelers often stock up on a variety of supplies, from snacks to bottled drinks, the integration of the stations into the local fabric means that a solid percentage of income will be derived from local activities.

Because so many of the lots are located in urban areas, many of them arrange their sets of pumps on either side of their corner lot, so that the pumps seem to be in an L shape, as opposed to a set of parallel lines. This creates opportunities for motorists to access the station from very different directions, which potentially increases the amount of gas the facility will sell on a day to day basis. Those stations that are closer to the interstate tend to have larger parcels so that 18 wheelers can easily turn around in the lot and reach the highway without undue hassle. They also tend to have much larger convenience stores, which are stocked with an array of goods. Some of these stores also stock a variety of non-food related products, such as socks, t-shirts, and other common garments for drivers who need to refresh their wardrobe.

Geographical Location

This town is often thought of as a suburb of Boston, although it is its own city. The community is bordered by Randolph to the west, Weymouth to the east, Quincy to the north, and Holbrook to the south. The neighborhoods of East Braintree and the landing extend to the banks of the Weymouth Fore River, which leads to the sea. Numerous major roads wind their way through the city, including Route 37, Route 3, Route 53, Route 1, Route 128, Interstate 95 and Interstate 93. Route 53 passes over the Weymouth Fore River, while Hobart Street leads to the Abraham Lincoln Park. Pond Meadow Park can be accessed by Route 3.
