Architecture for Profitability

Designing layouts that convert fueling stops into multi-service retail experiences.

C-Store Visibility and Layout Integration

Retail Attraction Path

We strategically position the C-Store entrance to be directly visible from every fuel pump. By optimizing the "Golden Path," we increase impulse purchase opportunities by guiding customers naturally toward retail zones.

Design Insights & Support

What is the minimum land size required for a standard gas station?
While local regulations vary, a standard urban 2-island station typically requires at least 1,200 - 1,500 square meters to safely accommodate tank setbacks, vehicle stacking, and retail frontage. For high-flow highway hubs, 3,000+ sqm is recommended.
Can you optimize the layout of an existing old station during a renovation?
Absolutely. Most "Brownfield" projects focus on retrofitting existing constraints. We use BIM modeling to identify underutilized space, often relocating the C-store entrance or reconfiguring dispenser angles to increase vehicle throughput by 20-30% without expanding the land.
How do you handle hazardous zone requirements in tight urban spaces?
In compact lots, we employ Vapor Recovery Systems (Stage II) and specialized structural barriers that allow for reduced hazardous zone radii according to NFPA 30A codes. This allows us to position dispensers closer to property lines while maintaining full legal compliance.
Does the layout design include underground piping and tank placement?
Yes. A professional layout is incomplete without a Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) plan. We coordinate the placement of underground storage tanks (USTs) with surface traffic loads to ensure structural integrity and ease of future maintenance access.
