Asking Price: $250,000 (plus inventory) Location: Avon Park, FL (Highlands County) Fuel Brand: Citgo Store Size: 3,100 sq. ft.

Business Overview

Well-established Citgo-branded gas station in Avon Park, FL, generating $65,000–$70,000 in monthly inside sales. A strong C-store volume that reflects a loyal, high-traffic customer base. The station moves 25,000–30,000 gallons of fuel per month on a commission fuel program, with credit card sales making up roughly 90% of fuel transactions.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a location with proven inside sales performance and a fuel program built for a low-risk, low-overhead ownership experience, with genuine upside for a hands-on owner-operator (see below).

Commission Fuel Program

This location runs on a commission fuel deal, under which the owner earns:

15 cents per gallon on credit card sales
5 cents per gallon on cash sales

With no fuel ownership risk, no rack price exposure, and no capital tied up in fuel inventory. With the store's current 90% credit / 10% cash mix, that pencils out to a blended ~14 cents per gallon, or roughly $3,500–$4,200 per month in fuel commission income on top of inside sales. all without the volatility of owning the gas. You will be responsible for the credit card fees.

The fuel program also comes with reduced rent, and the landlord takes responsibility for all outside maintenance, fuel dispensers, canopy, roof, parking lot, and price sign. That means lower fixed overhead and fewer surprise capital expenses for the new owner.

Owner-Operator Upside

The business has been run on an absentee ownership basis, and current staffing has not been closely managed day-to-day, which is the primary driver behind the sale. For a buyer willing to take a hands-on, owner-operator approach, this represents a real opportunity to tighten operations, improve staffing and controls, and build on an already strong $65K–$70K/month inside sales base.
