7423 TN-28, Dunlap, TN 37327 | Gas Station & Attached Residence For Sale

High-Potential Gas Station, Attached Residence & Real Estate For Sale: 7423 TN-28, Dunlap, TN

Offering a rare entry-level commercial real estate package featuring an active gas station and an attached residential apartment, 7423 TN-28, Dunlap, TN 37327 is available for acquisition. Offered at an aggressive asking price of $449,000 ($102.05 per square foot) with a 10-year fuel supply agreement (or $499,000 without a jobber contract), this modern 4,400-square-foot Class A commercial facility sits on a prime 0.52-acre lot in Sequatchie County.

Built in 2015, the property includes a fully equipped convenience store, a fuel canopy with rapidly growing gasoline volume, and an attached 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment. The location currently breaks even after paying full-time employee management payroll on current monthly inside sales of $15,000 and outside fuel sales of 15,000 gallons at a 20¢/gallon margin. However, the store historically generated $30,000 to $40,000 per month in inside retail sales, presenting an immediate turnaround opportunity for an active owner-operator to live on-site, eliminate living expenses, streamline shift labor, and capture substantial net profits.
