I been wanting open my own business for anout 4 years and I found a gas station that has been shut down and I don't knowmuch about opening a gas station but I am really wanting to learn how I would do it

Hello my name is brandon and I am trying to find help about owning my own business I found a shut down gas station about 5 miles from my how and I was wanting help and steps on how rto reopen it and how I would get a gas company and pretty much everything about owning a gas station

First off the gas station may have been shut down due to the gas tanks in the ground needed changed out and the owner didn't have the thousands and thousands of dollars it would cost to have the tanks properly upgraded. Secondly, the station may have gone out of business due to lack of customers or the owner not making enough profit to keep the station open. If you know virtually nothing about running a gas station and what it entails financially may I suggest that you take a job at a station and see just how it is run before jumping off the deep end and try to operate one.

Well first why is or was it shut down, if it has underground tanks are they good. Is the station for sale or for lease.

And to be honest it is going to be in the 100's of thousands of dollars to normally get a contract, secure a location, show them you are $$$$ secure enough for them to do business, buy your opening stock, including gas, and so on.

So finding the money backing is the main issue
