Sunoco-Branded Convenience Store Operations

Operating & scaling high-cashflow convenience stores across rural Utah.

Summit Fuel LLC operates five convenience store locations under Sunoco branding. We control store operations, staffing, inventory, pricing, and inside sales while Sunoco supplies fuel.

Our focus is consistent retail performance, strong fuel margins, and expanding higher-margin food service (hot deli, coffee, and automated food concepts).

What we do

Summit Fuel LLC operates Sunoco-branded convenience stores and manages all business functions required to run efficient, profitable retail fuel + convenience operations.

  • Retail operations, staffing, scheduling, and payroll
  • Inventory purchasing, merchandising, and pricing
  • Inside sales optimization and customer experience
  • Food service expansion (hot deli, coffee, grab-and-go)
  • Financial controls, reporting, and multi-location oversight

How we make money

  • Inside sales (primary profit driver): snacks, drinks, tobacco, grocery, and convenience retail
  • Fuel margin (stability engine): consistent volume with predictable margin per gallon
  • Food service (growth engine): higher-margin deli, coffee, and differentiated offerings

This diversified model reduces reliance on any single revenue stream and improves resilience in rural markets.

Locations (Utah)

K&B Oil — Milford, UT

  • ~$2.0M annual inside sales
  • ~$0.5M annual fuel sales
  • Existing hot deli in place

Panguitch Stores (3 total) — Panguitch, UT

  • Two operating stores: ~ $500k inside + $500k fuel each
  • Third store currently closed; planned reopening
  • Target: expand deli program across locations

Todd’s Junction — Duck Creek, UT

  • Seasonal tourist location
  • ~Milford-level performance ~6 months/year
  • Off-season covers costs; upside via food service

Growth strategy

  • Expand hot deli programs (Milford model → other stores)
  • Introduce in-house chicken program (similar to “Champs” style, but branded internally)
  • Add a coffee concept in one flagship store to drive traffic and margin
  • Deploy an automated burger machine to differentiate and capture late-night demand

Why this works in rural markets

  • Limited competition for fresh, hot food options
  • Tourism + highway traffic creates consistent demand
  • Food service increases basket size and repeat visits
  • Multi-location scale improves purchasing power

Funding request (SBA 7(a) Working Capital)

Summit Fuel LLC is seeking SBA-backed working capital to support the launch and stabilization of five locations under Sunoco branding. Funds will be used to execute quickly once operating agreements are finalized.

  • Key money / entry fees: required to secure operating agreements
  • Initial inventory: inside store stocking and merchandising setup
  • Payroll reserves: staffing ramp and operating stability
  • Operating reserves: working capital buffer for multi-location operations and seasonality
  • Equipment & minor build-outs: hot deli, coffee program, and automated food concepts

We are in the bidding phase and pursuing conditional SBA approval to ensure immediate execution upon award.
