For Operators

Buy, Sell, or Scale — With a Broker Who's Done All Three.

Whether you're going from 1 station to 5, repositioning to exit, or looking for your next acquisition — we help operators make smart moves. As former CEO of a dozen-location operating company, we've overseen every P&L, handled the environmental DD, and negotiated the brand contracts. We know this business from the executive seat.

Gas Station Operator Growth Strategy
The Operator-Broker Advantage

We speak operator. Because we've owned the business.

Michael Salafia served as CEO of a multi-location gas station operating company — a dozen stations with c-stores — before building STAX. He knows every detail of the business because he ran it.

We Know the Numbers

Fuel margin, inside sales per square foot, car wash revenue, labor cost as percentage of gross — we evaluate deals with the same metrics you use to run your business.

Buy Side & Sell Side

Need to sell one location and acquire three? Restructure a portfolio and exit? We handle both sides of the transaction for operators — and understand how they connect.

No Middlemen

You work directly with the principal. No junior associates learning on your deal. No transaction coordinators who've never been inside a c-store. One person, start to finish.

Acquire Your Next Station

We source opportunities based on operator criteria — traffic counts, gallonage trends, brand positioning, competitive radius, staffing feasibility. The metrics that determine whether a station is a good buy for someone who's going to run it.
