Doug, Good points. There are some gas stations that are up to standard in which the owner-operators want to sell or spin off - in ones and two...or in bunches. I was thinking of a neighborhood gas station in which the owner is retiring and or closed and up to par...just looking for another owner. Yes, you are correct that the UST (underground storage tanks) were quite an issue with leakage, not up to environmental guidelines, etc.
But there are many good stations. On a much larger scale, a major petroleum company just spun off over 1,000 gas stations to another company or groups of medium companies. Thanks for pointing out your correct observations. --- Doug Younker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Phillip; I am curious as to what you are referring > to as an "orphan gas > station"?
