Gas stations, party stores and markets
Buying or leasing a gas station or market usually means a property, a business, a liquor license and a lottery license, all on different timelines. We handle them together.
Four moving parts, one deal
A typical purchase combines the real estate, the operating business, an SDM or SDD liquor license and the Michigan Lottery retailer license. If one of them is not ready at closing, the others can be stuck waiting.
We plan the whole transaction at the start, put license contingencies in the purchase agreement and the lease, and keep the approvals in step with the closing.

Talk to us while the deal is still being negotiated. A few changes to the contract at that stage can save months and money later.
