        Competitive Landscape Brief

        The volume of consumer and commercial driving drives demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on the ability to secure high-traffic locations, generate high-volume sales, and buy gas at the lowest possible cost. Large companies have advantages in purchasing and finance. Small companies can compete effectively by having superior locations. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $1,000,000. As more retailers added gas to their merchandising mix, the competitive landscape for gas stations expanded to include convenience stores, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, and grocery stores.
