Some of the stations are sited near hotels and car rental agencies, which makes them particularly profitable for owners. In addition to offering a number of pumps and a store stocked with a slew of excellent goods, these properties tend to be designed to incorporate larger vehicles that have extraordinary turning radiuses. This can apply to long haul trucks used for shipping pallets of goods, or other industrial equipment that occasionally needs to stop in and refuel, such as construction equipment. Owners of stations here should become familiar with the wide array of vehicles that may stop in, as well as the specific procedures required to fill their tanks.

The service store portion of the property is often designed with a series of roll up doors that feature glass windows so that the vehicles that are being worked on inside can be viewed from the exterior. The mechanic bays tend to be filled with a variety of hydraulic wrenches and drills that make it easy to quickly repair engines and replace unneeded parts. These bays also generally are outfitted with a number of shelves that can store tires and other accessories that are commonly needed for vehicles that have been traveling extensively.

Leasing

Many people who stop at a gas station do so not only for the fuel, but for the amenities of the attached convenience store. Those who choose to lease a property of this type in Lynnfield will likely want to study the purchasing habits of the customers who came before. Many of the stations depend on the purchasing choices of the nearby neighbors to shape the kinds of inventory they have on hand in the store. For example, a store that is located close to a neighborhood of numerous single family homes will likely have a supply of candy and band aids, whereas a station located closer to the interstate will probably want to stock a few automotive accessories, such as motor oil and replacement windshield wipers.

The store will also want to keep a good balance between the number of refrigerated goods they have on hand versus shelved items. Snack goods are always usually popular among customers, but having fresh and cool beverages and dairy products can also bolster overall sales. The amount of bottled water, for example, will largely depend on what a particular vendor thinks will sell per day. Again, this varies depending on the specific location of the station.

Each of these stations has a slightly different architectural style, although for the most part brick facades on the store and service station are the most common. The fueling pumps tend to be arrayed in a modern configuration, with bright lighting at night and a large overhead canopy that keeps off the sun and the rain.
