I wish I could...how bout you come support a fellow HMTer :)

It's interesting the way it works...I learned as I went along through the process.

The land, building, pumps, tanks, lifts, compressor are all owned by Getty, they are also responsible for maintenance and upkeep of these things which is nice as it wont come out of my pocket.

The tools and any other things are all owned by myself (and my business partner). We lease the space from Getty and they in turn supply us gas on a regular basis for which we are paid a commission. No matter what the price of gas is set (Getty sets all the prices), I only get $0.065 per gallon commission...thats it! Pennies...you really make $0 on gas sales. It basically pays for the rent and if you sell enough...may pay for the gas station attendants. Also...in NJ, you are not allowed to pump your own gas so you always have to have at least one pump attendant you are paying for at $7/hr...

Where you make all of the profit is in sales for items in the mini-mart area and of course in the garage bays.

It's a pretty neat business model...and because most everything is setup, you just have to follow the plan and manage the people well.

is that .065 after the creditcards take their cut?

any how.. you need to set up a get-r done display.. those are a big deal here in the south.. jersey just doesnt know about it yet heh

Re: Lookie what I bought today! You have no clue...56k, yur OK - NE Reppin!

No gas station have a raquet on credit cards...no fees on Gas Sales up to $125. Repair work is like 4% though :-\

Weir, this is a huge step...I'm excited and freakin out all at the same time...LOL

Cray, I will be the certified mechanic (well, sorta)...but I have another guy working with me and by the beauty of the internet, we have a nice little program on the computer that should help us out for those non-foreign autos ;)

Mike & Emory...I'm sure you will both be getting a lot of business from me (well...lets hope at least) :) Thanks for the encouragement!

And you cant buy beer in a gas station in Jersey...only in a liquor store.

And I believe the reason they make every station full service is to create more jobs...but again, look who has all those jobs and guess how many of them arent even supposed to be in this county ::)
