We listed 3 gas stations available for franchising and dealership with their minimum initial investments. Franchising or being a dealer at a gas station can be a bit complicated because the requirements are more stringent, and most of the time, you have 2 options:

  • Company Owned Dealer Operated (CODO) – The dealer’s (you) role is to operate the station and order products from the company. But the company still owns the station.
  • Dealer Owned Dealer Operated (DODO) – This one is the more expensive one because you, as the dealer, will build, operate, and equip the station with products from the company.

Remember that this is just a guide, and you can directly reach out to the company for more updated details.

1. Shell
