sleepy Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Every time I go to Kwik Trip, Holiday or SA no matter what time of day there is always 5-6 cars gasing up and inside there is always a line 6 people deep of people buying their massively inflated priced soda, chips, cigs, etc. Also always at least one dumb ass buying $50 of lotto tickets. Can you buy your own Kwik Trip. Got to easily make 1k a day in profits alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACH Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I bought shares in Casey's General Stores in the tech crash in 2000 and then sold it for a 50% gain. It's up about 10x now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsouth Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's the inside goods they make a killing on. Been told around .10 gallon outside. Lotto not huge but consistent monthly income if your store does good volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWarning Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's the inside goods they make a killing on. Been told around .10 gallon outside. Lotto not huge but consistent monthly income if your store does good volume.Yes, they make 8-10 cents /gallon of gas. Lottery is about 3-5 %, but they do get a percentage of the winnings sold from the store, varies from state to state. Smokes are very low profit item also, and they don't get credit for stale either. The store has to have high volume on gas, and hopefully they go inside and not pay at the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 That's what Wade should do... buy into the convenience store business. Guy would probably just sit his fat ass down and start scratching away all the Scratchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACH Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I've never bought anything inside a convenience store in my entire life except a bottle of milk once which is the reason I never bought anything again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's always the lower income class types that spend their money at those convenience stores. I guess that's why they have no money.I have done it if I am being lazy, but I am always thinking to myself that I'm just throwing money out the window.

Dingo Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Before the pay at the pump option(mandatory In someplaces)Customers had to come in to pay for gasThat caused a lot of impulse buying that just isn't there anymore Also might be too busy putting out Falcon plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWarning Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 The other pitfall you have to watch is hoping the store employee is honest. There's a reason they count those packs of cigarettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
