Many of these fueling stops are also equipped with a convenience store, which tends to range in size from 600 square feet to several thousand square feet. The store itself can either be placed under the canopy that shelters the pumps from the elements, or it can be sited toward the rear of the parcel on its own. In some instances, the store has several parking spaces directly in front of the entryway to make room for patrons who prefer to buy items instead of fueling.

These stores are open to a variety of different configurations. Many owners prefer to retain the rows of refrigerated cases that typically line the perimeter of the store while adding wooden or metal shelving units for the display of dry goods. Some facilities feature beverage dispensing machines for coffee, tea, or icy, sugar-laden drinks. Typically, the point of purchase occurs just before the automated sliding doors, although in other places the register is situated in the center of the store, making it easy for customers to purchase their goods no matter where they may be shopping.

Leasing

With a number of local businesses positioned near gas stations, anyone who is considering leasing in this area will discover that many patrons often refuel their vehicles after using the services of an adjacent retailer. This built-in customer base makes it easy for the operator of such a facility to maintain a healthy profit margin from local sales.

Of course, much of the customer base is necessarily coming from out of town. Much of the traffic that traverses Route 2 is made up of people who are traveling for pleasure, although a high number use the road for work-related purposes. Cargo carrying vehicles, from large trucks to vans, also frequently travel this stretch of the highway. As a result, many stations are designed to accommodate both smaller passenger vehicles and those larger vehicles which require a substantial amount of space in which to maneuver. The lots are typically designed with extra asphalt near the principal entry and exit points to make it easy for traffic to flow in both directions. This also prevents large trucks from becoming stuck or otherwise jackknifed due to an awkward entry angle.

Signage is often mounted both on the property itself and on the frontage road several hundred yards away. This enables motorists to anticipate the facility, and begin slowing down far enough in advance to make a smooth entrance into the central fueling area.

Geographical Location

A mere 19 miles from the center of Boston, this charming community is located east of the city of Acton and north of the city of Lincoln. It is also crossed by Route 2, which funnels traffic in an east-west direction from Interstate 95. Several other major transit thoroughfares wind their way through this city, including Route 117, Route 111, Route 62, Route 119, Route 2A, and Route 126. Route 2 passes by the Hapgood Wright Forest, the Minute Man National Historical Park, and the Walden Pond State Reservation. Lowell Road passes directly over the Sudbury River, as well as the Old Calf Pasture.
