In terms of typical stations, most of the properties here are located close to one of the major route exchanges or intersections. Several of these properties are located on curving or irregularly shaped lots due to the way the infrastructure has carved up the available space, as well as the proximity of natural woodlands and other scenic features. As a result, the lots typically place their fueling pumps as close to the road as possible while constructing other amenities, such as a convenience store or service station, closer to the rear of the property. In some cases, the property may have multiple banks of pumps placed around the edges of the property so that customers approaching from very different directions will see the fueling stop.

Sidewalks on the outer edge of the properties are common, as are strips of landscaping. Depending on how close the property is to the center of town, the station may have a series of newspaper stands or other machinery designed to dispense local information. Most of these stations prefer relatively low-key signage that displays the price of gas, although in some cases the stations will mount signage miles away along the interstate in an effort to attract more travelers.

Leasing

What could be better than leasing a gas station directly by the sea? Admittedly, the prospect is appealing not only for its likely revenue stream, but also for the beauty of the specific location. The properties here are usually set back from the main access road so that motorists can drive in and choose to either immediately fuel their vehicle, park along the side of the property, or walk to the convenience store and purchase a few snacks or drinks.

Many of the stations located close to the coastline tend to service their immediate neighborhood. Dozens of single family homes and residential complexes are arrayed near the waterfront, and have a sizable population that often uses the store portion of the property to stock up on various essential goods. The inventory of these stores will vary greatly depending on whether the occupants of the adjacent homes are year round residents or visitors who stay for a week or weekend at a time. Most stores choose to stock relatively small quantities of each of their items to enable customers who do not plan on staying in the region for very long. A six ounce bottle of juice, for example, is usually preferred by customers to a 12 or 18 ounce bottle.
