Pretty much yeah, there’s a reason why some of the last independent stores are convenience stores. It’s because they’re relatively cheap to operate and you don’t need a particularly large customer base to maintain profitablity, frankly speaking the problem they usually run into is zoning regulations and not being more mixed into residential.
I’m pretty sure there’s a Rite Aid near where I am and it’s almost always closed. The only other option is the CVS that’s in Hannaford. Another 35 minute drive in the opposite direction to Walmart. 45 minute drive in the other direction to a CVS.
So a gas station with a pharmacy and minus the gas station? That’s the business model?
