Counter-Offer Term Sheet

(4) Shell C-Store /
Gas Station Package

Phenix City, AL  ·  Operations Only  ·  Newly Shell-Rebranded, Turnkey
Re:  Buyer offer received at $650,000. This term sheet sets out the seller's counter, supported by verified full-year 2025 performance for each location.
01 Initial Anchor Is Not Appropriate For The Verified POS Data

The initial Soft/off "Anchor" of $650K is 43% below the current $1.14M ask and 57% below the original $1.5M. At $650K the recoup on the entire purchase price falls within 8.3 months of the business's own net income.

That is a 0.69x multiple on earnings.

NOBODY sells a verified, branded, four-store operation with staff staying for eight months of its own cash flow.

02 Purchase Price
$1,140,000Package, operations only. Individual store pricing available on request.
03 Verified Performance

The price is supported by full-year 2025 actuals drawn directly from the store back-office POS system, not estimates. The portfolio nets $936,898 per year, or $78,075 per month, after rent and after payroll.

Net income is stated after $516,000 per year of rent and $340,800 per year of payroll. At the counter price, the package is offered at 1.22x verified annual net income.

04 The Actual POS Data To Justify The Opportunity

Every strength below is grounded in the verified full-year 2025 POS data. This is what the $1,140,000 acquires, and why the asking price stands.

High-Volume, POS-Verified

Roughly $305K in inside sales and about 312,000 fuel gallons every month. Full-year 2025 totals 3,751,116 gallons and $936,898 in net income, pulled straight from the store scanning system. Fuel and inside sales are consistently strong and trending upward.

Turnkey & Fully Staffed

Fully operational with systems, processes, and inventory in place. Employees and managers wish to stay through the transition. Inventory conveyed at cost at closing as a clean, separate line item.

Newly Shell-Branded & Compliant

All four sites recently Shell-rebranded with modern imaging and canopy upgrades, enhancing visibility and customer draw. EMV-compliant fuel dispensers installed and current across every location.

Prime Market Position

Four locations clustered in a high-traffic corridor on the west side of Columbus, GA near the Alabama state line, with strong commuter and local demand. Offered as a package or individually.

05 Brokerage Fee

A 3% buyer fee is payable to Benchmark Fuel at closing, consistent with the offering terms.
