Much of the land here is covered with trees, and as a result many of the fueling stops are highly picturesque. It is not uncommon for a station to be surrounded by a tall canopy of pine and birch trees, which makes almost every piece of property here postcard-worthy. The lots typically have enough room for two to four fueling pumps, as well as an adjacent convenience store. These parcels are traditionally located close to residences as well as other low-slung retailers, which provides a fairly steady stream of income from locals who frequent the store and the pumps.

In many cases, the lot may be located close to a hotel or car rental agency, which again will provide a substantial number of customers who are fueling up as they embark upon or return from their journeys. The lots are sometimes designed to feed directly into adjacent lots, so that a hotel, restaurant, and fueling stop may all be placed on the same block. A visitor can drive from one to the other without having to turn out onto a major access road.

Leasing

The most desirable leased retail properties in this area are gas stations, primarily because they offer a number of different revenue streams and a fairly reliable business model. Regardless of the season or the larger economy, fueling stations tend to generate enough profit for their operators to remain competitive in the market. This is especially true of properties that have a convenience store, as this additional space acts as a draw not only for visiting motorists, but locals who can walk to the facility and pick up a few staples for themselves.

Many of these structures are known for their clean, well-lit displays, as well as the line of refrigerated cases that tends to make up the back wall of the store. In a few places, the refrigerated cases will not be vertical, but rather will be horizontally arranged to display goods including varieties of ice cream and chilled drinks. These displays can be perfect for seasonal items that benefit from innovative display.

The interiors tend to have linoleum floors and drop tile ceilings, and are lit with fluorescent fixtures. Some of the structures themselves date from a much earlier time period, and as a result feature not only large storefront windows that look out on the fueling area, but also have a brick or modernist concrete exterior with decorative flourishes. In most cases, a long rectangular counter will double as additional space for the display of goods as well as the principal register for the clerk on duty.

Geographic Location

Sited in the lush environs of Middlesex County, this town is bordered by the cities of Dunstable to the east, Groton to the south, Townsend to the west, and Hollis, New Hampshire to the north. Route 113, Route 111, and Route 119 cross the city, and two major rivers help form the boundary of the municipality. Route 111 goes directly through the central business district, and also passes by the J. Harry Rich State Forest. The Nashua River dips under this route. Meanwhile, Route 113 passes by the Coon Tree Pond, and also cuts through the Unkety Brook Watershed and over the Reedy Meadow Brook and the Sucker Brook. The Nissitissit Meadows can be accessed via Brookline Street.
