Southborough Gas Stations

Buying

With its acres of open land and unfettered countryside, the gas station parcels in Southborough tend to be ample, yet also designed to be configured in any number of ways, which allows for the expansion of existing structures as well as the construction of new ones. These stations tend to be surrounded by trees, and often have retaining walls that double as a place for parking spaces and vending machine display. Anyone interested in buying a property here should reach out to the associates at Boston City Properties, who will happily provide details on current property listings, approximate purchase prices, and open houses and other touring information.

The convenience stores in these areas are usually stocked with a variety of different foods and accessories. They tend to be built out of concrete and have a relatively clean, modern look, although in some cases the structures are built out of brick and stone. The building itself may also date back to the late 1940s or 1950s, and have a number of decorative flourishes which visually distinguish them from other properties.

The wide berth of the parking lot makes it easy for trucks and other large vehicles to enter and quickly maneuver themselves into position for refueling. This also greatly facilitates their exits.

Leasing

With an average size of between 450 and 3,000 square feet, the convenience stores that tend to accompany the gas stations here are perfect for tenants looking for a long term lease. They offer a relatively reliable revenue stream, in addition to being places where both local residents and visiting motorists will often enjoy spending time.

This enjoyable quality of the convenience store is achieved partly through a confluence of elements. The music that is played on the overhead speakers, the lighting, the array of equipment that is specifically designed to help prepare certain types of food can all be arranged to create an overall welcoming atmosphere. Operators of the store often experiment with introducing a machine that slowly cooks pieces of meat, such as a hot dog or hamburger, and placing it next to the drinks fountain. Customers become fascinated by watching the meat slowly cook, and serve themselves drinks as the process gradually unfolds.

This type of arrangement can encourage other kinds of spending, too. While they are waiting for their meal to finish preparing, customers may browse aisles that sell shirts, hats, socks, and other garments that are decorated with the insignia of the town and its local wildernesses. This provides an entire market for themed merchandise, such as stationary that features trees or small replicas of wildlife found in nearby preserves. Equipment such as binoculars for bird spotting and rubber waders for fishing is also welcome, and tend to sell in fairly high numbers regardless of the season.

The store may also wish to stock items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and skin cream, although this is not strictly necessary. For travelers who have forgotten these items on their journey, it can be an extreme source of relief.
