I'm in outside sales and have all of my clean bathrooms mapped out. I may be one of your return customers. Thanks for caring about the bathrooms!

If the A/C unit is always blowing cold in the restroom...youre at my joint.

The managers could never understand why we are so hard on them about the restrooms. If you walk into a place...go straight towards the restroom and it is filthy...you will leave without purchasing a drink and a snack. Its very simple.

What are the experiences of anyone who has owned a gas station? Is profit pretty reliable or does it fluctuate?

With my experience; if its not on route of an interstate or major highway...its not worth it. The biggest problem we face is employees. So in an effort to combat this, we hired one highly paid manager and two high paid assistants at each location. Between the three of them we are getting about 150 hours a week out of them. Labor is higher than where we want it; but it makes up for it in other areas.

Any chance Peto's is one of your stores? That's our main go-to stop when driving between NOLA and Houston. Located about halfway, clean bathrooms, and the neat little cafe.

Others on our go-to list are the Petro just on the Houston side of Beaumont, and the one, name escapes me, on the south side of I-10 in Rayne - although the Rayne one is starting to get rough in my opinion.
