Typically, the fueling stops here occupy a long rectangular lot and feature between two to six pumps. At some points, these pumps will be arranged in a row, so that drivers may drive in from one side of the lot and exit on the other after refueling. The lot itself usually has landscaped portions on the edges and in the back. They are relatively small sections, and tend to have a gravel bed that is planted with shrubs and hedges. In some cases, the bed may be made of grass. Trees are sometimes located in sidewalk planters or in front of nearby residential buildings.

The lot itself will also usually have a few parking spaces that are located on the side of the convenience store or service station. Vending machines, as well basic automotive maintenance services such as air and water, are offered at this point. Drivers may pull up and begin servicing their vehicles, or simply walk into the adjacent convenience store.

Leasing

Those people who choose to lease a Needham gas station will usually begin to experiment with the inventory they offer depending on what customers choose to buy. Commuters tend to buy a cup of coffee or other energy-related beverage before heading back into their car, while longer distance travelers will usually stock up on a number of foods and beverages that they can consume over the course of their drive. Yet other travelers, especially those who have journeyed to the city to enjoy its natural splendor, will likely want to pick up some supplies so they can enjoy a picnic in the forest, or have bottles of water with them while they hike the nature trails.

For all of these reasons, operators will want to stock their store with a variety of different brands and drinks. Many operators purposefully dedicate an aisle or two to accessories and non-edible items in anticipation of the needs of travelers who may have packed too quickly, or simply forgot to include some vital items. These objects may include a toothbrush, toothpaste, skin cream, dental floss, sunglasses, socks, t-shirts and other basic items. Selling garments can also lead to a surprisingly lucrative side line of souvenirs or products that are emblazoned with the logo of the city or pictures of its natural amenities. Even in the era of smartphones, postcards are still a very popular item, especially when they show off the beauty of the region.
