Mattapoisett Gas Stations

Buying

In those cities that are close enough to the sea so that fragrant breezes flow through the main streets, owning a gas station is both a pleasure and a continuous opportunity to expand one’s revenue stream. An investor who wishes to find out what properties are currently available for sale should contact Boston City Properties, which can not only provide a current list of available parcels, but put investors in touch with real estate professionals who can arrange tours of these facilities. We can also help investigate structures that may be placed on the market soon, and keep our clients advised of those forthcoming listings.

With a relatively low urban density, this area tends to have fairly expansive parcels that include parking and room for a number of individual structures, including a convenience store. Much of the traffic here is broken into two primary groups; travelers headed out to the ocean, and those who live nearby and use the station to satisfy all of their fueling needs for daily commutes and other business related trips. As a result, the properties often become centers for the exchange not only of goods and services but local information. It is not uncommon for a station here to be located next to a strip of local retail businesses, some of which are rented or leased to tenants who offer other services that are not strictly car-related. These strips of commerce help bring patrons to the gas station as well as introduce them to other available services.

In some cases, the owner of such a property can expand the number of structures on the property and build additional units to house other tenants. Many owners experiment with related businesses, such as a car-wash, or a car rental service. The sheer amount of space makes it easy to set up numerous custom configurations, depending on the desired tenants and business community.

Leasing

The tightly knit character of the community, in combination with its resplendent ocean views, make leasing a gas station here both a joy and an exciting business. Although many patrons can be relied upon to purchase gas once a week or more, many other regular customers are often drawn to the facility for the products sold in the convenience store. Operators of a business here must learn to anticipate the needs of their customer base, as well as pioneer new trends and services to remain a vital part of the community.

Stocking a convenience store in this region is a matter of anticipating changes in demand. The typical motorist passing through the region in July, for example, will likely have different needs than one passing through in December. The summer visitors tend to buy sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, pre-made sandwiches, and a host of frozen dairy products, such as yogurt and ice cream, while the winter visitors are keener to stock up on hot foods. Many stores install a coffee vending machine that spurts out at least three or more blends of caffeinated beverages, as well as a hot plate or microwave that can quickly heat up a freshly sliced bagel or other appetizer. Having a variety of different condiments on hand is also vital. From mustard to packs of butter to hot sauce, a convenience store is never more helpful to its customers than when it can supply them with the essentials of life.

Carrying umbrellas, windshield ice scrapers, and other weather-related paraphernalia will also result in a steady stream of revenue. However, keeping basics such as snack foods and an array of bottled beverages on hand is also a vital component of the business.

Geographical Location

With the cities of Marion directly to the east, Fairhaven to the southwest, Rochester to the north, and Achusent to the northwest, this coastal city overlooks Buzzards Bay, and has several wildlife areas and nature preserves within the city limits. Both Interstate 195 and Route 6 cross the town. Route 6 goes directly through the center of the business district, while the Tinkham Forest can be accessed either via Bay Club Drive or Fieldstone Drive, both of which eventually connect up with the major freeways. Munro Park is located on the sea, and can be reached via Water Street. Swift Brook is crossed by Old Mattapoisett Neck Road.
