Gas station with the real property In Contra costa County
$ 3,400,000
This is a rare opportunity to own a gas station with real property in the heart of Contra Costa County, offering both immediate income and strong upside potential. The station is currently undergoing major improvements, including the installation of a brand new 20,000 gallon fiberglass tank, positioning the business for long term efficiency and compliance. It is presently operating at over 50,000 gallons per month with an exceptional margin of approximately $0.90 per gallon, while the convenience store generates around $20,000 per month at a 35% markup. Additional income streams include a smog shop leased at $3,000 per month, gaming income of $2,500 per month, and parking income of $1,500 per month. According to the fuel supplier, the station has the potential to increase volume to over 80,000 gallons per month with more competitive pricing, and the store sales could grow to approximately $40,000 per month. The smog shop also presents a significant opportunity for an owner operator, as it previously performed over 300 smog checks per month under different management. With multiple income sources, major capital upgrades already in progress, and the added benefit of owning the real estate. This is an ideal investment for both hands on operators and investors seeking long term growth.

California Gas Station Market Insight
California gas station valuations are driven heavily by location and whether real estate is included. Business-only transactions — where the buyer inherits a ground lease — typically range from $500,000 to $2M depending on fuel volume and convenience store revenue. Business-plus-real-estate transactions in high-traffic Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Bay Area corridors regularly close between $2M and $7M+. Branded stations (Chevron, ARCO, Shell, 76) command premiums over independents due to fuel supply contracts and established customer loyalty. High-volume locations pumping 100,000+ gallons per month with attached convenience stores and beer/wine licenses generate the strongest cash flow and command the highest multiples.
