If you want to start a new gas station business, the first thing you will need is a comprehensive gas station business plan. A business plan will give you clarity on what you will need for your business, and the operational requirements. A business plan is also an important tool for acquiring financing from lenders or investors. This post outlines the important sections with a summary of the key points to capture when writing a gas station business plan.
At the end of this post, you can download a complete gas station financial forecast tool with 3-year financial projections including income statement, start-up costs, break-even analysis, and cash flow statement. This template has been used by gas station business owners to plan their business finances and apply for funding from banks and other lending institutions.
A well-written business plan should include the following sections:
Executive summary .
Your executive summary should outline how your gas station will provide fuel for motorists and at the same time stand out from competitors. It should be short and precise and appealing enough to capture the attention of your audience. The executive summary motivates the reader to read the entire plan. Its, therefore, important to highlight the key points for each so that the reader can grasp briefly what you intended to put across. Among the important points to articulate are your gas station business objectives, fuel business industry environment, fuel products and services, location, target market, competitive advantage (unique selling point), and the specific gap you will be filling.
This section introduces your gas station business by briefly describing the company profile, mission, vision, core values, organizational structure, and strategic objectives. The profile gives a brief history of the business, the fuel products and services you will be offering, the location of the gas station, and your projected growth. The vision should include your long-term and short-term goals and how you will achieve them. Also, include the organizational structure, your daily workflow, and other operational activities that will make your business achieve your desired goals.
In this section, you talk about industry trends and the external factors that affect the gas station business, both positively and negatively. Also, state the major players in the gas station with convenience stores business both nationally and your direct local competitors that influence your business. The major players in Canada you may mention include Suncor (Petro-Canada), Imperial Oil Limited (Esso), Shell, 7-Eleven, Superstore (Mobil), Co-op etc. Locally you can mention businesses at most five to ten kilometers from your desired location. Additionally, describe the products and services your gas station will offer, including the grades of gas and types of oil for instance regular gasoline, midgrade gasoline, premium gasoline, diesel fuel, automotive services, etc.
To increase your customer base, you may want to include other complementary products and services such as a convenience store that sells snacks, chips, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, tobacco and lottery products, groceries, souvenirs, mechanical repair service, and automotive services such as car wash. Finally, mention the government and industry policies and regulations, permit requirements i.e. health, safety, and environment. Other than regulations, you can talk about your initiative of innovation and investment in the environment to show your interest in protecting communities, people, and the environment as a whole.
A marketing strategy describes your overall game plan for reaching prospective. Talk about the marketing strategies you will use to introduce your gas station to the market and how you plan to attract and retain customers. One thing to note is that marketing in the gas station industry is highly dependent on your supplier’s brand name. Most customers are loyal to specific brands. You therefore have to choose your supplier diligently and brand your station to reflect your supplier’s brand image and standard of service. This way you will benefit from increased business due to their larger marketing efforts and customer loyalty programs, such as rewards programs with grocery stores.
Also, discuss in detail your specific target market list down your direct competitors, and write down a summary of their product/service offering, pricing strategy, target market, strengths, and weaknesses. Mention how you plan to differentiate your gas station from your competitors i.e., by offering in-demand convenience goods, automotive repairs, after-sale services (e.g. windscreen cleaning), your supplier’s brand image, etc. Your unique selling point may focus on your choice of location which can be an area with high traffic with no other existing gas station.
In your SWOT analysis, explain how you will maximize on your strengths and take advantage of the business opportunities. Also, indicate how you will minimize your weaknesses and threats. These points can touch on your target market, the location of the gas station, the fuel options, and industry trends. Some of the strengths as a result of industry trends you can mention include low capital requirements, low imports, high revenue per employee, and low product/ service concentration. Weaknesses on the other hand may include high competition and high customer class concentration. You may also want to mention the opportunities presented by the industry such as high revenue growth and high per capita disposable income. Threats majorly facing the industry that you will want to address in your mitigation strategies include the world oil price, which is expected to decrease, heavy regulation of the industry, low demand for fuel due to the pandemic, etc.
Mention where you plan to set up your gas station and indicate why you selected that area. If you have any future growth plans list down the locations, where you plan to open other gas stations. State your equipment and fuel procurement plans indicating where you plan to buy or lease your gas station and convenience store and oil depot solution which are necessary for the operation of the business.
This section identifies the personnel responsible for the running and management of the business. Here you talk about the founders, team leader, or manager of your business, the entire employee workforce, their roles, and employee benefits. Also, discuss their profiles pointing out how suitable they are for the running of the business.
From leaky fuel tanks to burglaries, running a gas station can be a risky endeavor. Insurance will secure the business in the event of unanticipated circumstances. You therefore should state the insurance packages you will be having.
This is the most important section of your business plan to your audience. The investor or lender will want to know how your business is going to perform financially. Prepare financial projections for the next five years to determine the start-up costs of leasing or buying a gas station and making the pumps operational. Your financial documents should show the cost of required licenses, insurance, payroll, interest expense for servicing the loan or return to the investor, utilities, and environmental services. Calculate the revenues you anticipate from the sale of fuel, automotive products, and concessions in your revenue projections
In summary, a gas station business plan document is a requirement in the business planning process. It enables you to realize your vision and achieve your goals. A well-crafted, comprehensive, and appealing plan for your gas station will enable you to capture all aspects of your business in an enticing manner. You can get in touch with us at Vaisus Consulting to help you prepare an exhaustive, funding-ready gas station business plan that is customized to meet your needs.

This article will outline how to start a petrol station business in South Africa, and the petrol station business plan – PDF, Word and Excel.
The locations and premises of your petrol station is an important decision to make before you start your business. It’s also important that you locate your petrol service station close to your target market. Consider the amount of road traffic, and find an easily accessible location where people can stop and quickly get your services. There are several possible locations, including shopping centres, malls, highway , residential areas and the CBD. Opening a petrol station close to places that typically have potential for traffic will be ideal. It is important to be strategic about your neighbouring businesses because you are more than likely to feed into each other instead of competing. If you open a petrol service station business in an overly saturated area, the likelihood that your business will succeed will be low.
You require buildings which will act as your business offices. Ideally these should be at the same premises with your filling station. If you plan to have a convenience store, then you will also need a shop building. You also require a petrol station canopy. This is the structural canopy which will house the fuel dispensers. To establish a successful petrol station business in South Africa, you must have the appropriate equipment in place to ensure operational efficiency and the delivery of top-notch services to your customers. At the heart of your operations, you’ll need reliable fuel dispensers that accurately measure and distribute fuel to customers’ vehicles. These must adhere to industry standards for precision and safety. Complementing the dispensers are underground storage tanks, responsible for storing fuel safely until it’s ready for dispensing. Regular inspections and strict adherence to safety regulations are imperative to prevent leaks and environmental hazards. Fuel pumps are instrumental in transferring fuel from storage tanks to dispensers, and their durability and efficiency are vital to minimize downtime. A robust Point-of-Sale (POS) system is indispensable for seamless transactions, payment processing, and inventory management. These systems should be user-friendly and capable of handling various payment methods, enhancing the customer experience. Other equipment required for a petrol station in South Africa include fill pipes, gas dispensers, security cameras, fire extinguishers among others. Your filling station business plan should cater for the costs of the buildings and equipment acquisition.
The major products for your fuel station are petrol and diesel. Your target niche will determine the other kind of products and services you will provide. You can sell lubricants, heating and lighting oils as well as operate a convenience store or a car wash. Whichever facility you decide on opening, ensure that you provide quality products and services. Also, in order for your business to be profitable make sure that you invest in the right equipment and infrastructure for your petrol station. It is always best to invest in the right equipment in order for you to provide the best products and services to your customers. Your fuel station business plan should outline the various products and services you will provide.
As a customer-centric petrol station, it’s important that you hire employees that are friendly and efficient. Your employees should be passionate about serving your clients. If you want to hit the ground running it’s better to hire a team of people who have experience in the petrol station business. Your employees should be able to provide quality services and serve customers efficiently on a regular basis. Inexperienced staff members may need to get extensive training before they can be given intricate tasks. The equipment and machinery used at a petrol station can cause serious injury so it is important to take proper precautions. Depending on the size of your petrol station, the actual number of your staff will vary however, you will need cleaners, security, petrol attendants, cashiers, office staff, as well as management. Your petrol service station business plan should cater for the salaries and day to day operational expenses of your business.
Some of the day-to-day operations of a petrol station include:
Operating a petrol station business in South Africa can be done either as an independent petrol station or as part of a franchise. As a franchisee, you will be managing your business while benefiting from the expertise, training programs and operational support from the franchise network. Each petrol station franchise brand has unique requirements for the application process. There are many petrol station franchise brands in South Africa to choose from. Some petrol station franchise brands to consider are
The amount of investment required by the Franchisee to purchase the business varies with each brand, as well as from site to site, and depends on variables such as turnover, location, competitors, and ownership of the property.
When starting a petrol station business in South Africa, meticulous budgeting and comprehensive financial planning stand as fundamental pillars of success. These financial strategies are not merely about maintaining daily operations but are the very bedrock upon which sustainable growth is built. At the outset, delineate the startup costs with precision, leaving no stone unturned in identifying the expenses necessary to inaugurate your petrol station. These costs encompass property acquisition or leasing, construction or renovation, equipment procurement, and licensing fees. A thorough grasp of these initial outlays is crucial for securing the requisite funding. Subsequently, construct a comprehensive list of recurring operating expenses, encompassing aspects such as employee salaries, utilities, maintenance, fuel inventory, insurance premiums, and marketing expenditure. This comprehensive list will serve as the backbone for your monthly and annual financial planning.
To ensure a sound financial foundation, create realistic revenue projections, drawing upon market research and location analysis. These projections should consider factors like fuel sales volume, pricing strategies, and potential income from auxiliary services, such as a convenience store or car wash facilities. Effective cash flow management should be a constant focus, ensuring that your petrol station maintains the necessary liquidity to cover immediate expenses. Be prepared for unforeseen circumstances with a financial contingency plan and explore diverse financing options, be it personal savings, loans, or investments. These strategies, in tandem with profit margin calculations, financial goals, regulatory compliance, and periodic reviews, collectively lay the groundwork for a thriving petrol station business in South Africa.
Crafting an effective marketing plan is pivotal in establishing a thriving petrol station business in South Africa. Your marketing strategy serves as the linchpin for creating awareness, attracting, and retaining customers. To begin, it’s imperative to forge a strong brand identity. This involves designing an attention-grabbing logo, selecting a memorable name, and crafting a brand image that resonates with your target audience. A compelling brand identity not only differentiates your station from competitors but also leaves a lasting imprint on potential customers. With your brand firmly established, the next step is to define your target audience based on meticulous market research. Understanding their demographics, preferences, and behaviors allows for tailored marketing efforts that cater to their specific needs and interests. Embracing the digital age, a robust online presence is paramount. A user-friendly website that offers crucial information such as location, services, and pricing is indispensable. Leveraging social media platforms to engage potential customers, share promotions, and solicit feedback is equally vital.
Local marketing initiatives can further bolster your station’s presence, including participation in community events and partnerships with nearby businesses for cross-promotion. Developing competitive pricing strategies and promotions, including loyalty programs and discounts, can be pivotal in enticing customers and encouraging repeat business. Employ a mix of advertising channels, both online and traditional, to reach a wider audience, and continuously assess campaign performance to refine your approach. Exceptional customer service should not be underestimated, as it can serve as a potent marketing tool. Train your staff to deliver friendly, efficient service and actively seek positive reviews and testimonials from satisfied patrons. Highlight any sustainability initiatives, such as eco-friendly fuel options or waste reduction efforts, in your marketing efforts, as eco-conscious consumers often gravitate toward businesses that prioritize environmental responsibility. If expansion is part of your long-term vision, incorporate growth strategies into your marketing plan by targeting new locations and demographics.
The need for petrol stations is driven by car purchases and mostly by the transportation industry as well as the general increase in consumer spending. A lot of individuals have cars and they all need fuel. Since more cars are bought yearly, the need for petrol stations will also increase. There has been a lot of cars on the South African roads and a large number of the population make use of public transportation such as taxis, and buses. There is a lot of companies and organisations with a fleet of vehicles that need fuel on a regular basis. Also, there are plenty of courier services companies , car rental companies, taxis and bus companies in addition to individuals that will require fuel on a regular basis.
The petrol station industry is a competitive industry with a number of large and small companies dominating the market. However, it is still possible for you to own your own filling station or even go the less risky route by becoming a franchise. Many might find operating as a franchise limiting but being a franchisee can help you operate your business as part of an existing chain. Of course, building your petrol station own brand from scratch can be just as rewarding if done well. Whatever route you decide to take, investing in a petrol station in South Africa is a profitable venture, but obviously, this will depend on many factors such as your target market, costs and management. Apart from the obvious advantages of becoming financially independent and becoming your own boss, running a petrol station can be a rewarding way of uplifting your community.
Given that the South African market is one of the leading emerging economies on the African continent there is potential for high growth. The economy has been growing steadily over the years. Whether you are a young entrepreneur, a professional seeking to start your own business or someone who needs a retirement plan, investing in a fuel station is something worth considering. One thing that can set you apart before investing in any venture is developing a business plan. A well thought out petrol station business plan will help you in both the short and long term. Also, there are various risks associated with running a petrol station, like any other business venture, your business plan should clearly outline these risks and the different ways to minimise them.
Achieving and sustaining profitability is the ultimate objective for any petrol station business in South Africa. Success in this competitive industry hinges on several key elements that are integral to financial prosperity. First and foremost, efficient operations are paramount. Streamlining processes to minimize waste and optimize resource utilization is essential. This includes ensuring that fuel dispensing, customer service, and convenience store management are all executed efficiently. Effective inventory management is also crucial, as it prevents overstocking or running out of essential products, helping to maintain profitability. Competitive pricing is another crucial factor. Striking the right balance between offering competitive prices to attract customers and ensuring profitability is a constant challenge. Regularly monitoring and adjusting prices in response to market fluctuations and competitors’ strategies is vital to staying competitive while safeguarding your bottom line. Customer loyalty is a cornerstone of profitability. Building and maintaining a loyal customer base can significantly impact your revenue. Offering exceptional service, rewards programs, and personalized experiences can foster customer loyalty, encouraging repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals.
Diversifying your services beyond fuel sales is a smart strategy. Consider adding a convenience store, car wash, or electric vehicle charging stations to your offerings. This diversification creates multiple revenue streams and attracts a broader customer base, potentially boosting profitability. Effective marketing is essential to driving customer traffic. Implementing a well-crafted marketing strategy to raise awareness and attract new customers is vital. Leveraging both digital and traditional marketing channels can help you reach your target audience effectively and increase patronage. Cost management is an ongoing effort to monitor and control expenses. Identifying areas where costs can be reduced without compromising quality is essential. Implementing energy-efficient technologies and adopting sustainable practices can help save on utility bills and reduce waste, contributing to profitability.
Quality staffing is critical to enhancing the customer experience. Hiring and training competent and customer-focused employees can make a significant difference. Knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive staff can lead to increased patronage and loyalty. Technology integration is a must in the modern petrol station business. Implementing point-of-sale systems, inventory management software, and customer loyalty programs can streamline operations and enhance customer convenience, positively impacting profitability. Maintenance and upkeep of equipment and facilities should never be neglected. Regular maintenance and updates ensure that your assets remain in top working condition, reducing downtime and costly repairs, which can eat into profits. Lastly, vigilant financial monitoring is essential. Regularly reviewing financial performance, adhering to budgets, and analyzing key performance indicators help identify trends and make informed decisions, ultimately maximizing profitability.

Records from the Alachua County Property Appraiser's Office show that the land is owned by Lake City-based Prem Enterprise USA LLC, which purchased the property in March 2021 for $2 million. Prem Enterprise USA LLC is listed as owning two other adjacent parcels in the county at 6815 Newberry Road. The two parcels were purchased in 2018 for $2.5 million, and are home to a Chevron gas station.
Plans created by Gainesville-based EDA Consultants show a a gas station with 12 gas pumps surrounded on four sides by various retail buildings. A 3,200-square-foot restaurant space with a 700-square-foot patio is shown to the west of the pumps. A 921-square-foot coffee shop is shown to the north and a 4,000-square-foot convenience store to the east. Plans also call for a 2,200-square-foot liquor store and an additional 8,500 square feet of retail space.
Plans for an Aldi grocery store on the lot directly east of the proposed gas station development have been approved by the county. Building permits, however, have yet to be issued. The plan, originally submitted in 2022, called for a 20,664-square-foot Aldi store and two retail buildings.
If constructed, it would be the third Aldi store in Alachua County, with the others located at 3773 SW 13th St. and at 3003 Clarke Butler Blvd. in Gainesville.
The fourth parcel on that stretch of Newberry Road remains owned by Parkwood Alachua Land Investments Inc.
