5. Gas station
Overview

A gas station which also called a petrol station, filling station, fueling station, or service station is
a business facility which retails gasoline (petrol), diesel and lubricants for motor vehicles. Gas
stations offer one of three types of service to their customers: full service, minimum service or
self-service.

A full service gas station has attendants who operates the pumps, often wipes the windshield, and
sometimes checks the vehicle’s oil level and tire pressure, then collects payment and perhaps a
small tip and a minimum service gas station has attendants that operates the pumps. This is often
required due to laws in some cities that prohibit customers from operating the pumps themselves.

While in self – service gas stations the customer performs all required service. Instructions
informing the customer of filling procedures and cautions are clearly displayed on each pump.
Customers are expected to go to the store or go to a booth to give payment to an employee of the
station and lastly we have the unmanned gas station that make use of card – lock (or pay-at-the-
pump) system, these gas station are completely unmanned.

The Gas Stations industry over the years has experienced a modest amount of volatility. As a
matter of fact, as more Americans acquire automobiles, the total vehicle miles increased and this
gives room to increase in the demand of gasoline. So also, as per capita disposable income
continued to increase, some automobile owners would choose to go for premium fuel, which is
priced higher than lower-octane fuel.

Just like other industry, the Gas Stations industry has also experienced its fair share of ups and
downs over the last five years. As a result of strengthening domestic economy and improvement
in employment over the early part of the last five years, the Gas Station Industry also
experienced improvement in performance.

The Gas Station industry is indeed a very large industry and pretty much thriving in all the
parts of the world. Statistics has it that in the yetimen, there is few licensed Gas Station
businesses responsible for employing about above 1000 employees.

17
GAS STATION BUSINESS PLAN

The major breakthrough in the gas station industry came as a result of the increase in automobile
ownership which can be attributed to Ato Siraneh Alamir when he started to sell
automobiles that the middle class could afford resulted. The gas industry therefore, experienced a
great boom that has continued to affect nearly all economies of the world.

In the bid to stay afloat in the highly competitive gas station industry, owners of gas stations now
go the extra mile to ensure that they make their facility welcoming and conducive for customers.
Gas stations now have vulcanizing services, car wash, convenience stores, coffee bars, snack
bars, and cigar lounge within their facility so as to leverage on the opportunities around them to
generate more income.

Although the gas station industry can be said to be a competitive industry, but it does not in any
way stop entrepreneurs who are creative and financially capable to still make headway in the
industry. It is indeed a profitable industry especially when the business is well located. No doubt
busy highways and busy cities with growing population is highly suitable for gas stations. The
catch is that if there are automobile users in any city, then the city would have need for a gas
station.

Analysis

Knowing the strength and weakness of any business is one of the right steps to take in business.
No doubt starting a gas station is indeed capital intensive especially for aspiring entrepreneurs
who may not have huge sum of money saved up in a bank.

We are aware that it will require loads of cash to set up a standard gas station in Yetimen which
is why we decided to do all that is required to build a profitable business; we don’t intend to
invest our hard earn money in a business that we know we are not truly cut out for. One of the
tools that is required to position us in building a successful gas station business is SWOT
Analysis.

 Strength:

Ato Siraneh Alamir Gas Stations is centrally located along one of the busiest highways in
Yetimen; our location is in fact one of our major strength. Aside from the basic service that we
offer, we also offer complimentary services that most of our competitors are not offering.

So also the vast experience of our management team, we have people on board who are highly
experienced and understands how to grow business from the scratch to becoming a national
phenomenon and our attendants are well groomed to handle various classes of customers; our
excellent customer service culture will definitely count as a strong strength for the business.

 Weakness:

Our perceived weakness could be the fact it is a new gas station business which is owned by an
individual (a small family), and we may not have the financial capacity to sustain the kind of
publicity that can give us leverage and start operating chains of gas stations in various cities in
the Amhara as planned.

 Opportunities:

We are centrally located in one of the busiest highways in Yetimen and we are open to all the
available opportunities that the city has to offer. Our business concept also positioned us to

23
GAS STATION BUSINESS PLAN

attract people who like doing their shopping, washing and servicing their automobile in gas
stations.

 Threat:

One of the major threats that confront businesses all over the world is economic downturn; when
the economy is bad it affects consumers spending which in turn impacts businesses negatively.
Another threat that we are likely going to face to confront us is the emergence of a new gas
station within the same location where ours is located.

MARKET ANALYSIS

 Market Trends

There is hardly anyone who doesn’t have a need for gas, this is why it is really vital that one keys
into this industry. One of the trends in the gas station industry is that, in the bid to stay afloat in
the highly competitive gas station industry, owners of gas stations now go the extra mile to
ensure that they make their facility welcoming and conducive for customers.

Gas stations now have vulcanizing services, car wash, convenience stores, coffee bars, snack
bars, and cigar lounge within their facility so as to leverage on the opportunities around them to
generate more income.

Another trend is the adoption of the underground modular gas station model. The underground
modular gas station is a construction model for gas stations that was developed.

 Our Target Market

Before choosing a location for our gas station business, we conducted our feasibility studies and
market survey and we were able to identify the location that will benefit greatly from our
products and service offerings which is why we deiced to settle for Yetimen.

Essentially those who will benefit from our service offering are automobile owners / drivers and
they are of course busy corporate executives, business owners, households, students and travelers
/ visitors / tourist et al. They are the category of people that we intend marketing our gas station
services to.

 Our Competitive Advantage

From our recently concluded feasibility studies and market survey, as a matter of fact, there are
about 3 standard gas stations close to same locations as ours. This goes to show that there is
stiffer competition in the industry.

Before launching our gas station we have critically studied the market and we know that we have
some form of competitive edge. Our competitive advantage is that we have a standard gas station

facility that offers additional complementary services that will definitely help us attract and
retain customers.

Another competitive advantage that we have is the vast experience of our management team, we
have people on board who are highly experienced and understands how to grow business from
the scratch to becoming a national phenomenon. So also the wide varieties of other
complimentary services and products that we offer and of course our excellent customer service
culture will definitely count as a strong strength for the business.

One thing is certain, we will ensure that in future, we open our gas stations in various cities in
the Amhara and also sell our franchise. With that our brand will be well communicated and
accepted nationally.
