Cambridge Gas Stations

Buying

As one of the most densely populated areas in the state, this city never suffers from a lack of activity. This tends to translate into highly profitable gas stations, many of which can be purchased in highly desirable urban locales. Some of these facilities are located next to four story retail buildings, providing a steady stream of clientele who often take the opportunity to gas up their car after they conduct business in the building. Interested buyers will do well to inquire with Boston City Properties. Our team possesses an up-to-date list of the most recently available properties, as well as an extensive network of local real estate agents and brokers who can quickly arrange viewing appointments.

Most of these stations come with some form of a convenience store or other supply area, which is usually sited at the rear of the property. Many stations have a corner lot location, and orient their pumps directly in the center of the property. Others prefer to put two or more banks of pumps along the perimeter and on a diagonal within the parcel, creating multiple angles at which one can fuel a vehicle. The design is contingent both on the size of the lot and its relative visibility from the access roads. Signage is one method of alerting potential customers to the existence of the station, and as a result vividly painted canopies are common. These massive bursts of color not only provide shelter for fueling motorists, but also stand out among the brick and granite of the surrounding city.

Leasing

Those who endeavor to the lease a gas station in this municipality will be delighted to learn that there are several different options, from stations that come equipped with a service station to those that have an attached convenience store. The service stations tend to be profitable in this region because they provide numerous maintenance services that the local population needs to fulfill registration requirements, such as brake service, oil changes, and other engine-related monitoring tasks.

Due to the density of the city, both vivid signage and canopies are commonly employed to attract the attention of passing motorists. The convenience stores tend to stock an array of items that are particular to the needs of the city, including notebooks, pens, and other academic materials. The stores also tend to have a supply of dry goods, bottled drinks, and other easily consumable foods that are great both for road trips and for study breaks. Ramen is a high-selling commodity in this area. Because of the urban character of the city, separate landscaping is rare, although occasionally trees from a neighboring parcel will provide a welcome burst of foliage near the perimeter of the property. A small strip of low hedges or flowering plants may be planted near the side of the property that faces the main access road, although this is not always the case.
