Melrose Gas Stations

Buying

With a relatively high urban density, this town offers the spending power of a major metropolis with the ease of a tight-knit community. Multi-story residential and commercial buildings are common in this region, which means that many gas station parcels are located in fairly urban settings, often surrounded by a number of other buildings. The amount of open asphalt varies depending on how much room the parcel has; in many cases, the lot is divided up so that some vehicles may park while other spaces are preserved to make it easier for large trucks to execute correspondingly large turning radiuses. Almost all of the facilities have several vending machines located on the exterior lot. Usually, these machines are grouped around the convenience store, which tends to be built of brick with a small gable or peak on the roof.

Most properties have at least two pumps, although some have four or more. These pumps can be grouped under one canopy, or they can be distributed at the corners of the property to make it easier for motorists to drive in and begin refueling from all sorts of different directions. In some cases, the canopy has a peaked roof, while in others it is totally flat. The flat canopies usually have a series of electronic signs that display the price of gas along the edges, making it easy for those approaching the station to see how much each grade currently costs.

Because many of these properties are located in an urban setting, small outcroppings of manicured landscaping are not uncommon. Usually they will be housed at the perimeter of the property closest to the sidewalk. A gravel bed is common, although sometimes grass is used instead. The hedges usually are trimmed so they do not exceed three feet in height. Trees are not as common here on the actual limits of the property, although in some cases trees in sidewalk planters may contribute shade to the facility.

Because so many of the facilities are located close to other businesses, many of the customers that come to refill their tanks and pick up a snack in the convenience store are fellow professionals. This means that the store should stock a number of energy boosting drinks and food items that make it easier for an office worker or other professional to quickly refresh themselves so they may return to their duties. Residential customers also often shop in the store to pick up items they will consume later, including pre-made sandwiches, large bottles of water, and accessories including sunscreen and cigarette lighters. Some stores stock a variety of different clothing, including sandals, hats, and T-shirts, to help both locals and visitors who need a fast change of clothes.

Beauty and hygiene items are also always a recommended inventory item. From toothbrushes to dental floss, having a small selection of toiletries will come in very handy for people who either have temporarily run out of supplies or have undertaken a trip and forgotten to pack an essential kit of items.

Geographic Location

Located to the east of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, this delightful community is west of the city of Saugus, east of Stoneham, south of Wakefield, and north of Malden. It is only seven miles from the heart of Boston, which gives it incredible access to a slew of urban amenities. Route 99 enters into this city, which largely navigated by surface streets. The primary green spaces and recreational areas are located off various boulevards and streets. The Pine Banks Park, for example, is located off Main Street, while the Ell Pond is between Tremont Street and Lebanon Street. Spring, 2nd Lake, and a series of smaller bodies of water immediately nearby can be accessed via Lake Dam Road, while Oakdale Park is located off Fellsway East.
