Locale: The property is located in South Central Montana just south of the town of Absarokee. The facility is at the intersection of state Highway 78 and state Highway 419. Highway 78 runs between Columbus, Montana (the county seat of Stillwater County) and Red Lodge, Montana (a resort community with a ski resort, golf course, airport, etc.). Billings, Montana, the largest city in Montana, is located 60 miles Northeast of the property and is in adjacent Yellowstone County. Market Outlook Competition: This is the only facility in a 47-mile stretch located on a state highway that provides access between the closest interstate system, regional ski resort and national park. It is also the primary route for access to local employment and county government offices. It is the only modern convenience store facility in the area. There is great exposure to local and recreation traffic due to the fantastic corner location. Growth / Expansion: The location of the facility and size of the lot provides a multitude of opportunities for growth. The owners designed the complex to allow for expansion within the current business model and to allow for growth into other business ventures. The lot fronts on and has access from 2 state highways. One highway terminates and requires all traffic to stop adjacent to the complex. The current facility would be well suited for adding a cafe, bar, casino or fly fishing shop along with the capability of increasing current services. Many additional standalone buildings and businesses could be added. Potential business include a full service restaurant / bar / casino, automotive service center, ranch supply business, fishing / river adventure guide service or RV park. There is also ample room to build a strip style retail / office building for rental income. The potential for a franchised fast food establishment at this location would be tremendous given the corner location exposure and the lack of any such facility in the area. Financing: Bank / Institutional Loan, Cash Support / Training: Owner will consider a reasonable training period to ensure a smooth transition to the new owners. Under the gas company contract, support services are also provided.
