A situation I’ve been thinking about lately is how realistic it is to modernize an older gas station without overextending yourself. A friend of mine runs a small station on a regional highway, and while traffic is steady, the equipment is outdated and the shop layout feels stuck in the early 2000s. He told me he’s torn between fixing things slowly from cash flow or looking for outside funding. I’m curious how others approached this kind of decision and whether upgrades actually paid off in the long run.
