Christ, they're on every other corner! New ones pop up in every additional subdivision!
Okay, let's say the current franchisees are chumps hanging onto a losing proposition. Where do the new ones come from then?

You have seen the price of crude lately right? not gasoline, crude. That is their cost.
The retailer cost is always 2-3 cents away from the sales price, which basically covers costs. They pop up all over the place, and in every neighbourhood because they act as convenience stores as well.
And nobody said they lose money ... at least I didn't. The gas allows them to operate on a corner to make money from convenience sales.
