(305) 518-1545Sarasota is a Southwest Florida market of roughly 54,764 residents in Sarasota County. Fuel demand here is shaped by tourism, affluent residential, and arts economy — the specific mix of traffic that determines gallon throughput, c-store basket size, and long-run resale value for every station in the city.
Access into and out of Sarasota runs through I-75 and US-41. Primary commercial corridors — where nearly every institutional-grade gas station transaction in the city sits — include US-41 (Tamiami Trail), Fruitville Rd, and Bee Ridge Rd. When we advise buyers and sellers in Sarasota, our underwriting starts from these corridors: which sites capture inbound commuter flow, which capture destination retail, and which capture pass-through highway trade.
We work all fuel-real-estate product types in Sarasota: fee-simple gas stations with real estate, ground-leased NNN investments, branded and unbranded dealer stations, convenience stores with and without fuel, and truck stops or high-flow diesel sites where the corridor supports them. Buyers searching for Sarasota County gas stations for sale — or Sarasota gas stations for lease — see the same inventory, including bank-owned and by-owner opportunities we take to market. Our transactions cover Chevron, Shell, Exxon, Mobil, BP, Marathon, and unbranded programs.
Buy-Side
Buyers acquiring in Sarasota typically fall into three profiles: first-time operators stepping out of W-2 or dealership work, multi-site operators consolidating Sarasota County portfolios, and 1031/institutional capital deploying into NNN-leased fuel real estate on US-41 (Tamiami Trail) or Fruitville Rd.
Our buy-side engagement in Sarasota begins with acquisition-criteria intake — capital position, gallon target, brand preference, geographic radius, debt structure, and 1031 timing. We then source from a combination of live listings, upcoming inventory, and confidential off-market opportunities statewide.

Property Types in Sarasota
Fee-simple operating stations combining business, real estate, and fuel equipment along US-41 (Tamiami Trail), Fruitville Rd, and infill neighborhood locations.

Confidential sell-side representation with blind teasers, NDA-gated OMs, and cap-rate-driven pricing.
Leasing
Not every operator entering Sarasota wants to buy. Leasing a gas station in Sarasota lets an operator control fuel volume and c-store income on US-41 (Tamiami Trail) without funding the real estate. We broker three lease structures here: dealer leases on branded fuel facilities, ground leases on fee-owned pads, and full operating leases where the landlord retains the Sarasota County real estate.
Convenience stores for lease in Sarasota — with and without fuel — trade on rent-to-inside-sales coverage, tobacco and lottery permits, and remaining brand image obligations. We underwrite each Sarasota lease against comparable Southwest Florida rents before an operator signs.
Investment
For passive investors, Sarasota presents a range of triple-net leased gas station opportunities — long-term dealer leases, ground-leased pads with major-brand operators, and sale-leaseback structures on operating sites. Investment underwriting turns on tenant credit, lease term remaining, escalations, corner quality on US-41 (Tamiami Trail), and environmental status.
For owner-operators, Sarasota offers a working combination of tourism demand and affluent residential traffic — the exact mix that supports both fuel-margin economics and c-store inside sales. Our team benchmarks every Sarasota deal against comparable transactions across Southwest Florida before pricing.
Sell-Side
Selling a Sarasota gas station is not the same as listing generic commercial real estate. Employees, wholesale suppliers, jobber contracts, franchise agreements, and c-store vendors all become at risk the moment a sale becomes public. Our sell-side process protects every one of those relationships until closing.
We produce an institutional-grade offering memorandum — rent rolls, fuel volumes, c-store P&L, environmental status, and fuel supply contract analysis — and market to a curated database of Southwest Florida operators, 1031 buyers, and institutional fuel investors under NDA.
The Group
The Gas Station Group works exclusively in fuel retail real estate — gas stations, convenience stores, truck stops, and fuel-related commercial property across Florida. We are not a generalist commercial brokerage; every engagement in Sarasota is handled by specialists who transact only in this asset class. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.
