Chelmsford Gas Stations

Buying

The number of routes that come together in the center of this city makes it an especially auspicious place for a gas station. Investors who wish to purchase such a property would be advised to contact Boston City Properties for the latest information on retail availability, pricing, and specific locations. Many of the most desirable stations are not only located close to downtown, but within walking distance of car rental agencies or moving companies, giving that property the potential to capture a nearby revenue source.

The stations that are located right next door to an agency that rents large moving vans, for example, also tend to have a service station or convenience store component to help address the needs of their customers. The moving vans often not only need to refuel, but require brief, if periodic, maintenance. Facilities that offer oil change specials, tire refilling, and other basic automotive services will undoubtedly attract business not only from motorists but from other local business owners.

As the confluence of roads would indicate, stations here also are likely to see a steady number of out of town travelers who stop to refuel their car on their way to another destination. The eastern seaboard offers so many destinations to travelers that owners of a facility here will likely also become somewhat familiar with giving directions, or at least advising on the best routes. While smartphones can provide maps, many travelers still prefer to ask for the best routes to a particular city or regional destination.

Leasing

Many of the gas stations in this city offer leasing options to customers, starting with one year leases and in some cases offering as many as three to five consecutive year terms. Several of the properties are sited at the intersections of two or more routes, and often have fairly ample parcels which have multiple banks of fueling pumps placed upon them. The banks are spaced far enough apart that it becomes relatively easy for motorists to queue in line if all the pumps are taken without interrupting the flow of traffic in and out of the facility. Often, a bay of extra wide pumps will be located at the far end of the property specifically for eighteen wheelers and other large vehicles.

In addition to the usual assortment of passenger vehicles and long haul trucks, this area also tends to see a high number of water craft being towed en route to a local lake or river. Anyone who leases a facility here should become versed in the basics of fueling a boat. In many cases, motorists will have their own gas can or other mobile unit that they can place fuel into. Operators should stock multiple containers in the store in case the owner has forgotten to bring one alone. Basic supplies, including motor oil, paper towels, and other assorted accessories should also be kept on the premises at all times.

Geographical Location

Technically part of the Greater Lowell metropolitan area, this city is bordered by Carlisle to the south, Tyngsborough to the north, Lowell to the northeast, Westford to the west, and Billerica to the southeast. Both the Concord River and Merrimack River play a prominent role in shaping the boundaries of the city, and provide opportunities for gorgeous waterfront views. The city can be accessed via Interstate 495, Route 4, Route 3, Route 27, Route 3A, Route 40, Route 129, and Route 110. Several green spaces and recreation areas are also easily reached by one of these major routes. The Lime Kiln Quarry is located directly off Interstate 495, while Penham Park is just one turn off Route 110. Beaver Brook is crossed by Route 4.
