Corona Retail for Sale - Corona/Eastvale

Introducing a high-profile retail fuel station branded as ARCO AMPM situated at the strategic, signalized intersection of Interstate 15 and Weirick Road in Corona, CA. This proposed Arco AM/PM branded gas station features a modern convenience store, a detached 44-foot automatic car wash tunnel, and a state-of-the-art fueling canopy with 16 fueling positions (8 dispensers) serving gasoline and diesel. Positioned on over 1.5 acres with excellent freeway visibility and access, the site captures strong commuter and local traffic flows. The surrounding area is rapidly expanding with residential growth, new retail developments (e.g., The Crossings and Dos Lagos), and commercial infrastructure, ensuring long-term demand and increased daily traffic counts. The site is optimally positioned at a convergent point of high-volume commuter traffic, vibrant retail centers, and growing suburban neighborhoods. The easy freeway access, backed by adjacent branded retail anchors and affluent residential growth, supports robust daily traffic and convenience demand. This combination of visibility, accessibility, and surrounding development underscores the strategic strength of the proposed ARCO AM/PM gas station in this submarket. The station consistently achieves robust sales volumes and profitability, outperforming regional averages. 2025 Annual fuel sales exceed 2.6 million gallons (217,000 Gallons per month) with a strong average gross margin of $0.41–$0.47 per gallon. The AMPM convenience store generates strong and consistent monthly revenue averaging $150K–$160K per month. Key highlights: High-margin items such as hot dispensed beverages (95% margin), candy (49–51% margin), and packaged snacks drive higher profitability. Gross profit margins for the store averaged 35% annually, reflecting efficient operations, brand-driven foot traffic, and optimized product mix. AMPM-branded foodservice categories, including Deli and Hot Food and ABC Type 20 License (Beer & Wine) consistently deliver high margin sales. The property includes an additional parcel of surplus land behind the gas station, bringing the total lot size to approximately 1.5 acres. The excess land presents a unique opportunity to increase site value and revenue through: Development of a franchised quick-service restaurant (QSR) with drive-thru, or Installation of a fast EV charging hub with capacity for up to 32 charging stations. Currently, the excess land requires grading before construction. No city entitlements or approvals are in place, giving the buyer flexibility to pursue development aligned with local demand and strategic vision.

Drive Through Restaurants For Sale

Drive Through Restaurants

A drive-thru restaurant is a type of fast food establishment that provides customers with the ability to order and receive their meal while still in their car. This type of restaurant has been on the rise in recent years with an increase in demand for quick, mobile-friendly food options.

The majority of drive through restaurants are located on or near busy streets, making them easy for drivers to access. This accessibility can be attractive to investors as it will increase potential revenues by attracting more customers without extensive advertising costs.

Why should you buy a restaurant with a drive through as an investor?

There are many reasons to invest in a drive through restaurant. These restaurants can be profitable if they're modeled correctly and managed well. You need to consider several things when investing in a drive-through restaurant, such as location and demographics, before deciding whether or not it's right for you

The first thing that needs consideration is where your potential business should be located. A major factor here is population density - what does the neighborhood look like? Is there plenty of foot traffic on any given day? If so, this would mean more customers for the restaurant! You also want to make sure there are no competing businesses nearby that may lure away your customer base; try looking at some other areas of town with less competition and underserved population.

What are the costs of buying a drive through restaurant?

The costs to consider include the cost of the building, renovations or repairs and upgrades needed in order to do business. There may be additional fees such as franchise fees, permits, licensing. Talk to your broker about additional costs.

The cost for a commercial property itself will vary depending on the size and location; a building might cost more than one near a busy highway interchange with high traffic volume. The price per square foot also varies significantly by location.

How to make your purchase profitable and sustainable in the long run.

Purchasing a profitable drive-through restaurant requires careful research and consideration of what is needed in the area.

You will need to consider the most profitable drive-through locations, deciding if you want a single site or plan on multiple sites.

Consideration should be given to both established restaurants with traffic volumes that meet your needs as well as those which are under-performing but have potential for time and money investment to increase revenues.

Is it worth it for you to buy a drive thru restaurant now?

Right now is a a great time to invest in a drive through restaurant.

As of 2021, Interest rates are low and there is less competition for properties, which means you can get the property for less money than if you buy it later on down the road when prices and interest rates may increase. Additionally, now would be a good time to buy because people need convenient and safe food options during tough economic times.
