(305) 518-1545Truck Stops For Sale in Cedar Key, Florida — Market Overview
A truck stop is not a large gas station. Diesel margin per gallon is thinner than gasoline, volume is far higher, and profitability depends on parking, dwell time, and what a driver buys while parked.
Cedar Key draws Class 8 volume from SR 24 and US-19/98 (via Otter Creek), with commercial fuel demand supported by coastal tourism, clam aquaculture industry, and boating and marine fuel.
We underwrite these as commercial fueling businesses: diesel gallons, DEF sales, parking capacity, shower and scale revenue, restaurant or QSR income, and any repair or tire bay.

Truck Stop Economics in Cedar Key
Truck stop value in Cedar Key is driven by freight flow on SR 24, not by local population (687 residents). Diesel gallons, truck parking count, and driver amenities set the ceiling. We underwrite fleet-card mix and cost-plus contracts separately from retail diesel, because they price at completely different margins.
Buyers should model a Cedar Key truck stop on three revenue lines — diesel gallons, inside sales, and parking or amenity income — and stress each independently. A site that depends on one long-haul carrier's routing is a different risk than one drawing broad SR 24 traffic.
Seasonality and Visitor Demand in Cedar Key
Cedar Key demand is visitor-weighted, which changes how a site should be underwritten. Peak-season gallons on SR 24 can run well above shoulder-season volume, so pricing off a twelve-month average understates a strong site and overstates a weak one. We model high season, low season, and a blended year separately, then price off the sustainable blend.
Visitor-driven stores also skew the inside-sales mix toward beverage, snacks, and single-serve items rather than the tobacco and multi-pack basket of a commuter store. That mix carries better gross margin but more revenue volatility, and lenders discount it accordingly. Hurricane-season disruption, insurance cost, and windstorm deductibles belong in the Cedar Key expense model, not in a footnote.
Cedar Key Market Conditions and Buyer Pool
Cedar Key sits in Levy County with roughly 687 residents and functions as a small-market North Florida trade area. Retail transactions cluster on SR 24 and 2nd St, and regional access runs through SR 24 and US-19/98 (via Otter Creek). That geography, more than countywide averages, determines what a site here earns.
Because Cedar Key inventory rarely reaches public marketplaces, most ownership changes here happen operator-to-operator. We surface those under NDA to buyers already qualified on proof of funds and financing, which keeps employees, suppliers, and vendors out of the process until closing.
Every Cedar Key engagement stays confidential — blind teaser first, NDA-gated package second, and no public listing unless the owner asks for one. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.
Underwriting
What Makes a Cedar Key Truck Stop Valuable?
A Cedar Key truck stop's value comes from diesel throughput and truck parking. Parking is the scarcest asset in the sector — a site with fifty striped spaces holds drivers overnight and converts that dwell time into showers, food, and merchandise that carry far better margin than the fuel itself.
Site geometry decides feasibility before economics do. Canopy clearance, lane width, turning radius, and separate car and truck circulation determine whether a property can serve Class 8 traffic without bottlenecking.
Diesel margin is thin and volume-driven, so freight patterns matter. A SR 24 location with steady regional and long-haul flow underwrites very differently from a site that depends on seasonal or single-shipper traffic.
