Full Description
Unbranded Gas Station, C-Store & Commercial Real Estate For Sale: 16431 Walker Springs Road, Gainestown, AL
Offering an extraordinary re-opening opportunity at a rock-bottom price point, this 3,240-square-foot commercial gas station and C-store property at 16431 Walker Springs Road, Gainestown, AL 36540 is priced for an immediate sale. Offered at only $349,000 ($139.60 per square foot), this free-standing retail facility sits on a spacious 0.73-acre commercial parcel in Clarke County, Alabama.
The business was previously shut down solely because an out-of-country tenant attempted to manage daily operations remotely—not due to any location or demand deficiencies. When previously open and operational, the location demonstrated a proven historical net profit of nearly $14,000 per month even after paying an intensive $9,000 monthly management payroll. An active hands-on owner-operator can re-open the doors, streamline shift labor, select their own fuel distributor, and capture substantial net cash flow.
