    About this ebook

    Why a book about Gas station business? Well, gas stations are in every street corner, they are dime a dozen, but why are there so many of them?.
    Since the economic meltdown of 2008, we not only witnessed the collapse of the housing market, but also the wave of small businesses that closed their doors forever. Look at your city, and I am sure you will find empty homes alongside many local businesses such as restaurants, gift shops, clothing stores, etc. standing there with empty windows and a "For Sale" sign in the front.
    Now, look again. How many gas stations or convenience stores closed during the same period? Probably none. Instead, you may have noticed there are new stations constantly being built.
    Why is that? The answer is simple: it is a recession proof business. Whether you have a job or not, have a house or not; you still need gasoline for your car, milk for the kids, or need to make a quick run for cigarettes, beer, soft drinks.. You corner gas station is filled with all our daily life necessities.
