Canada here

Same here, watching from Europe. We've a slightly different model here. Similar but different. Convenience stores are less junk food and more bread, milk, etc, here. Kind of like the way the video says American stores are going

China here

Nigeria here

Denmark here

That's the truth

I was a kid, pumped gas and washed windshields, offered to checked oil. Gave out S&H Greenstamps for gas purchases. Gave out silverware too. After the 1973 arab oil embargo...gone. IN the 50's gas station attendants wore a hat, uniform shirt and bow tie, LOL. NO one is moving so excess supply, prices come down, thats Us competition and free market taking care of things.

Bathroom in developing countries is also immaculate, it's the nearest tree. And gasoline is dyed red or green and is found in Coke bottles, true!

I agree buc-ees has done so well by creating itself as a destination. I think it’s crazy that I have driven 45min to an hour just to go to a gas station. It’s a destination in itself

Once battery technology gets better, yes.

@@Lazy2332 Why does it have to get better? If it gets much better, no one will ever supercharge because charging at home or destinations will be enough for everything.

Honestly I cant remember ever going to a local store where I'm from where the clerks are not Pakistani, Indian or arab.

No pay taxes

That's changing.... corporations are building big clean gas stations right next to theirs here in Houston

Right its CNBC you know MSNBC, CNN the six monopolies who control 90% of our cross media for the purpose of political propaganda aka NOT NEWS. They can't tell you the truth & who own it or they will be fired. They have to walk a fine line NOW that the public has become aware of their FAKE NEWS and they are trying to get them back with REAL NEWS. The problem is they cannot report REAL NEWS which is non-partisan fact or they will be spanked by the owners who want everything pro-left and neg-right. Now we see a new movement of less obvious political headlines but also stories void of journalistic facts, since they cannot report the specifics without angering those that own and control these media monsters.

That's why I was reading the comments, to see if I was the only idiot that missed it!

Russian Lukoil is owning gas station chain in the USA. Circle K is Canadian own

$0.7918 per gallon as of 2020 which is the highest in the nation.

Please don't complain in the Netherlands we pay $1.10 a liter / $4,15 a US Gallon in tax. Total price $7,10 a US Gallon

Nepalese who wants to open a gas station do make a trip to Texas and consult with the former successful nepalese gas owner residing in Texas...if you do want to open one, seeking advice from any owners will give you a better idea than the media...News don't always give you a clear picture, its like hearing rumors, its always better to get idea on your own in person. I hear people are moving out of California, san Francisco, los Angeles to Texas. You better make a move before somebody does. I'm a Sherpa from Nepal btw. I've taken few texans on a trek to my village and sight seeing around the kathmandu (capital) here. Loved trekking with them. Cool people.

@@tseringjangbulama8230 Nah I don't think I want one. I'm gonna stick with what I'm in school for. I'm going into a field that I have a passion for so that I can be happy and help others. I don't think owning a gas station is gonna be for me. 😂 But you definitely gave some awesome advice for anyone interested in doing that! 🤗

TJ Lama lmao! Yes there is a bunch of people moving to Texas... and that’s a good thing for the Texas state and even better for the California lower middle class millennials like me! 😜 ... I’ll explain, if a mass population moves over a couple of years, then eventually the cost of living will go down! So I can finally afford rent! Aha

@@camerontaylor7471 it's not good for the Texan millinals who a year ago could have bought a house, 3 times their yearly income and now that same house is 6 times their yearly income making home ownership in Texas something young Texans can nolonger have. So sell your dump in cali and buy a dream home here... dont expect anything else but what you left as it's the Californians who ruined cali and refused to fix it. TEXANS welcome most but we really would prefer the Californians just come to visit and return home with their bad politics and worse PC culture.

Heartbreaking to see.

Antonio Costa I worked for QuikTrip between high school and college, the profit margins were astonishing inside the store, the company had a 10 year plan it was implementing right when I resigned, I saw the transformation as the years passed, it was interesting to see their evolution from the outside looking in, from hot dogs on a rolling grill to QT kitchens menu, ppl straight go there for dinner carryout crazy...oh yeah way before the FEDS changed the minimum wage to $7.25, QT hired me at 16 making $7.50 about two decades ago, I thought I was ballin' in high school, I paid my parents $200 a month rent, had 2 vehicles & paid the car insurance (at 16 expensive as FG@$$)... anyways, there's money to be made in the store, you need credit, capital, connections in city hall, & clear a course of action with contingencies

This is exactly why quick trip's model is convenience store focused.

Good info. Now when you own one now you have to have at least three Franchise is connected to your store like McDonald’s, Chipotle, and maybe a Starbucks.Just having a store to pick up snacks doesn’t cut it anymore.

I’ve moved to Brazil since 2013 , after 28 continuous years in the US. The C-Store trend caught fire here as well. Within a quarter mile radius of my residence , on the same strip , there are three Shell Gas Stations , two other gas stations ( one domestic branded , other from a Spanish oil company ) , three drugstores , three supermarkets, a bakery , and a myriad of smaller retailers ( two butchers , a stationary store, three cleaning supplies and disposable items stores , a bunch of restaurants ). Anyways, one of the Shell stations has enough real estate to pack... a C-Store with a coffee and snack bar, which by the way also sells beer and hard liquor , a lube bay, a car wash in the back, and it subleases store fronts to a French franchised dry cleaners (5 a Sec ) , a Venetian blind store , a cell phone accessory store , and some Arab Dude selling pastry turnovers. I found out the owners have about a dozen of such places everywhere. The odd thing , all gas stations here have people to pump gas. Every now and then, gas station owners get caught in tampering with fuel ( volume metering, tainted fuel ) , they get the whole station padlocked. Reopening them takes months , fines , lost revenue. Yet most of them can’t bring themselves to get rid of pumping attendants and automate the pumps. Then I realized many if such places get busted has to do with mismanagement, a lot of these places were bought as part of money laundering by organized crime. And these goons do not have the will , nor the competence to manage a tight ship. True, C-Stores can be cash cows ( ask your local Indian or Arab operator ) , only if managed properly.

Citgo owns their locations. The gas margin is low, typically about 6.5c.

Statistically more and more people are going to gas stations just for the convenience store aspect.

I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks..

That's awesome to hear. I invested 5k in Robin hood about a year ago and it steadily went down, now my portfolio is down $800. I don't know what to do and i am in between jobs.

@@nyreggie That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.

There is a place in the Dallas area where the owner wanted to open a restaurant but the bank refused to give him a loan for a restaurant. However, they did give him a loan for a gas station. So he bought a station, pushed the regular gas station stuff to a corner, built a kitchen, and put in dining tables. And everytime I go there is always a wait.

Restaurant with dine - in is great for such a place especially if you add different kinds of pumps than a usual pump in a gas station for example an electric car charger where they can come plug in their car and enter the restaurant to eat.

There's a Cajun restaurant behind my neighborhood gas station, so that's very possible!

OMG you just gave me a great idea (if I ever need to get revenge on someone I'm still acquainted with)! EX: going to a work holiday party where i secretly hate them all... just bring a ton of Gas Station SUSHI for them all!!!! HOOOORAY!!!

More corporations they own everything one way or another To many middle men that drive up cost of everything

Majority of single stores are owned by Indian or south asian decedents.

Mike EL gas station sushi lol nothing is fresh in a gas station

German gas stations! Some of them are pretty decent! Others not so much! I don't know about America!

European and Japanese gas stations!

Fried.

Most of the 75 bucks you spend goes to federal and state taxes, not to the owner’s pocket.

@@flyingg5504 It's worse in Japan, I wonder why their gas stations are clean? ⛽

The standards for food preparation should be higher in all of the industry.

Bijan Izadi thank you for being interested with the USA 🇺🇸

That food is not fresh at all

I drive gas trucks and deliver to Costco. I’m not saying they make no money but the money they make is bringing you into the store and paying your membership

i go to royal farms for the chicken.

Don't know where you are, but convenience stores tend to be closer to most folk in the U.S. than full grocery, box/discount store or shopping center.

@@cdubbleyoo this is a difference between most of Europe and U.S. we have small groceries(today mostly from chains) and some local restaurants and cafes within walkind distance. We have gas stations which are growing to have some groceries, but it is only if needed. But interesting to see how this work in the U?s

Chevron,Shell,76,etc is locally owned by a person and that person runs it. The store is owned and the gas is contracted and these gas stations cost a lot of money to purchase. The profits are really high too!

Beer and lotto is the money makers

Gas is an abbreviation for Gasoline just like Petrol is an abbreviation for Petroleum.

That's a good idea. I'm tired of the same old junk food.

That's how it is all over the country, because they don't have to pay taxes, like you would if your parents opened one. The will hire their relatives only to keep the money in their circle and out of yours.

Here in the states same thing you mentioned. I have probably at one time been in every one (convenience store/gas station) in my city and I only frequent the ones that are local owner owned and we know each other by name and there is a connection.

Yes. They provide free atm and air but most of their store items prices are higher than the competition.

@@flyingg5504 not if you buy their wawa branded product which is pretty good.

I don't know if you're in Texas or not, but if you are or ever do come here go to Buc-ees. I have yet to buy any type of food from them that wasn't absolutely delicious. And High Country here in Round Rock alone is worth a trip. Come on! Try a sandwich or two or three! 😉🤗

@@qualityman1965 In Port Perry, there is a gas station that still has full service where they pump the fuel, and there is a gas station owned and run by this couple, as well as a gas station not far from the city that is on a Native Reserve so the fuel is discounted.

@@pedroernesto6941 waow - interesting policy and practice. Eventually that entire business model will fail, right?

Not sure , but safety ?

Main reason is that the oil price that drops and rises is crude oil. Refinaries all over the world control the price of gasoline, diesel, and ethanol. When prices of oil barrel fall sometimes refinaries already bought their stock for the next trimester and they can't simply drop the prices. This crude oil war is meant to hurt countries since their taxes revenue come from royalties which in turn is linked to the price of oil barrel. Also if you are from the US you are less affected by Saudi, Venezuela and Russia's oil price since the US produce and refines its own oil.

Greedy immigrants that own the stations gauge of the prices.

@@andersonandrighi4539 I know I am over a year late in seeing your response. THANK YOU for the information. I never looked at how oil is purchased in that way. It makes much more since now.

It may depend on the region of the country; they're convenience stores in Texas.
