Let Me Find Your Dream Property in Montana's Beartooth Mountains Convenience Store / Gas Station 
Business Summary: Great corner location in the heart of one of Montanas best recreational playgrounds. This upscale C Store is located in a nice small town at the base of the Rocky Mountains in South Central Montana. The recreational amenities of the area draw a large circle of tourists in addition to the local patrons. It is located at the intersection of a major thoroughfare to Yellowstone National Park and the highway that provides primary access to the Countys largest employer along with the County Government Offices.
The area is very scenic with all of the outdoor activities Montana can offer including fly fishing, hiking, wildlife photography, downhill and cross country skiing, hunting, backcountry adventures, horseback riding and much more. The store is located just a stones throw from the East Rosebud River. Operating for 7 years, this well diversified gas station/convenience store makes a great investment opportunity for absentee owners or a Mom & Pop family operation. In addition to 24-hour credit card gas and diesel pumps, the store currently offers a great variety of services/products that appeal to travelers through the area including gift items, groceries, beverages & a small line of fast food.
The small town atmosphere combined with the top-notch school systems make this a great place to raise your family, it is very scenic with a stable and strong economy. With almost 2 acres of land, there is ample room for expansion. An adjacent 11.2 acres of riverfront property is also available.

General Information Year Established: 1999Facilities built and business established 2005 New Gas vendor and updated computer and fuel delivery systems Employees: 8 total (2 full time) Current staff could be capable of operating for an absentee owner. There is opportunity for an owner operator to reduce staffing costs.

All pumps offer 24-hour credit card service. Gas Contract branded services includes pumps, imaging, signage and computer system for inventory, sales and accounting. 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.
