The Most Profitable Part of a Gas Station Might Surprise You

The most profitable part of a gas station might surprise you.

Today’s top-performing operators are generating more income from car washes, food, and convenience retail than from the fuel pumps themselves.

According to Arian Zerehi, the highest-value stations create multiple revenue streams from a single piece of real estate, making them more resilient through changing fuel prices and economic cycles.

The real opportunity may not be selling more gas — it may be maximizing everything else the property can offer.

What would you rather own: a gas station or a gas station with a car wash?
