what are the steps to start a wawa(convenience store) & gas station?

Question

WaWa is a convenience store, similar to a 7-eleven store. You can run a gas station with it also. What are the start-up cost? Who do you call to start up the business? Who will you need to find an approproate location to build?

Answer 1

You are going to be extrememly limited on the number of lenders willing to finance this for you. The enviromental's alone are going to cost you close to, if not more than 100k. The best optoin is to contact WaWa directly and seek private financing through them. The terms are usually such that the first few years of operation you are an employee of them working to pay off the loan they have provided to complete the construction.

Good luck

Answer 5

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.

I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* Specialty Shop Retailing: How to Run Your Own Store Revised by Carol L. Schroeder
* The Small Business Owner's Manual: Everything You Need To Know To Start Up And Run Your Business by Joe Kennedy
* How to Get Rich in the Service Station Business by Edward R. O'Donnell
* How to Start & Manage a Convenience Food Store Business by Jerre G. Lewis

There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

This is more likely to be a problem at those smaller "mom-and-pop" gas stations which don't have enough revenue to purchase sophisticated security systems. Or maybe they're just too cheap.
