It's my understanding that no one is buying into these locations. They are owned by Esso et all and the person managing the site is paid a salary. Any extra profit comes from the sale of pop, milk etc. I'm sure Flames in 07 will correct me if i'm wrong.
I do know someone who runs an indipendant in Douglasdale - across from the golf course. He makes little from gas sales but his bakery, deli and confections make him and his wife a tidy sum. It can be done if you have the business smarts.
