They're called "gas stations," but they normally sell much more than just gasoline. In fact, some sell a variety of vehicle energy products, including diesel, bio-diesel and electric charge-ups for electric vehicles. Many gas stations also sell a limited selection of vehicle maintenance products such as oil and anti-freeze, and others sell an expanded line of maintenance products and services, including tires, vehicle repairs and performance testing. Gas stations with attached mini-marts sell everything from food to clothing to lottery tickets, and more. The first thing to do when planning your gas station business model is to define your product and service lines. |
