I own and operate gas stations, and I broker them. I help owners sell and investors buy with the eye of someone who runs the register, the tanks and the books every day.

Every station is a business, a piece of real estate and a fuel contract at once. As a multi-site owner, I price all three the way an operator would.

Certified UST System Operator and Veeder-Root ATG technician. I know what is under the ground before a buyer asks.

About

I don't just sell gas stations. I run them. Ownership, operations, compliance, fuel supply and valuation are my daily life, not a listing category.

Read like an owner

I read stations in numbers because I run my own. I prepare yours so every number tells the strongest true story.

Gallons, cents-per-gallon margin, inside sales, tank age and the length of your brand contract all move the price. I document each one before a buyer asks.

A note from ShoebSouthern California

To every owner thinking about selling.

Before I ever brokered a station, I owned one. I have opened the doors before sunrise, checked in fuel deliveries, answered tank alarms and signed supply contracts with my own name on the line. That is the lens I bring to your deal.

Most owners sell a station once in their life. It holds years of early mornings, family hours and hard-earned margin. You deserve someone who understands what that is worth, and who protects it from the first call to the closing table.

Too often, owners get treated like a listing. That's backwards.

Your station tells its story in gallons, inside sales, tank records and contract terms. My job is to tell that story accurately, to the right buyers, without the whole town hearing about it first.

  • Confidential first

    Your staff, vendors and customers find out when you decide they should.

  • Owner's math

    I value your station the way I value my own: fuel, store, real estate and contract together.

  • No surprises

    I look at your tanks, compliance and paperwork before a buyer does.

  • Straight answers

    If the price or timing isn't right, I'll tell you, even if it means waiting.

Whether you're selling your first station or buying your fifth, I'll treat it like it's my own. In this business, I know exactly what that means.

Process

Six steps to closing.

01

Confidential consult

We talk goals, timing and price expectations. Nothing leaves the room.

02

Valuation

I review P&Ls, fuel reports and the site to set a price the market will support.

03

Discreet marketing

A polished offering memorandum goes only to buyers who sign an NDA.

04

Qualified buyers

Proof of funds and operating experience are checked before any site visit.

05

Due diligence

I coordinate Phase I environmental, tank testing, lender and brand approvals.

06

Close

Inventory count, license transfers and escrow, managed down to the last gallon.

I live and breathe gas stations. Your sale gets an owner's attention.
