Description

This well established gas, c-store, and coffee establishment offers a compelling opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator to acquire a community-anchored profitable business in one of Nova Scotia’s most stable and lifestyle-driven rural markets

The business has been operated entirely by staff, creating a clear and immediate upside for an engaged owner. With day-to-day involvement, a new owner can improve margins, tighten controls, enhance customer experience, and unlock growth that has not been fully captured under absentee ownership. This dynamic makes the business attractive to buyers seeking value creation through operational involvement, not just maintenance.

The business benefits from strong local recognition, consistent foot traffic, a loyal customer base, and a protection that no other gas station can be built in the community. It serves as a natural gathering point within the community, supporting repeat business and stable demand. The core business model is proven, straightforward, and well-suited to optimization.

Key buyer highlights include:

1. Fully staff-run operation with significant owner-operator upside
2. Established local brand with repeat customers
3. Simple, proven business model
4. Opportunity to increase profitability through hands-on management
5. No known major CapEx for many years
6. Lifestyle-friendly ownership in a growing rural market

This is an opportunity to step into a respected local business and create meaningful value through active ownership.

By completing the NDA and becoming adequately qualified, you will be sent a full Offering Memorandum that will answer most, if not all, of your questions.
