Located on a signalized corner with strong visibility, 525 West 4th Street offers a well-equipped convenience retail opportunity complete with fuel service infrastructure and valuable ancillary features. The site includes six gas pump units—three dual-hose units dispensing multiple octane levels, plus three additional dispensers with individual octane delivery—providing flexible fueling capacity. On-site amenities include a functional two-bay self-service car wash, two vacuum stations, and a drive-thru window ideal for quick-service operations or potential food and beverage conversion. The building also features five coolers, including a large walk-in unit suitable for cold storage or beverage inventory; freezing capabilities are not confirmed. While the roof may require inspection due to possible leaks, the asset overall presents substantial utility for both owner-operators and investors seeking to reposition or repurpose in a growing market.
