PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida — Wert-Berater, Inc., an independent feasibility study consulting firm serving lenders and government agencies since 1998, has completed a Gas Station Feasibility Study in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Wert-Berater served as independent feasibility consultant to the lender and CDC. Party names are withheld consistent with the confidential nature of underwriting and capital-advisory work; figures represent the project as evaluated at the study date.

Project Summary

New construction of a 4,971-square-foot convenience store with sixteen fueling positions, two quick-service food concepts, and electric-vehicle supercharging at a signalized arterial intersection in one of Palm Beach County's fastest-growing residential corridors. Year 1 pro forma: $13,480,000 total revenue and $1,287,214 EBITDA, producing an operating DSCR of 3.87x against the 1.15x SBA minimum — 4.67x standalone before accounting for the companion station across the intersection.

What the Project Included

Ground-up development: fuel canopy and sixteen positions, full-format convenience store, dual QSR build-outs, EV supercharging infrastructure, site work, and signalized-corner access improvements.

Capital Structure

$5,052,768 permanent loan (including capitalized construction interest) on $4,920,000 of construction-to-permanent financing; borrower equity well above the SBA 10% minimum.

Feasibility Study Challenges

The analytically interesting problem was cross-corner cannibalization: the same intersection hosts a companion development on the opposite corner, so the study modeled the station both standalone (4.67x DSCR) and with the companion operating (3.87x) — feasibility holds decisively in both states. Monte Carlo simulation across 10,000 iterations varying fuel volume, margin, store revenue, QSR revenue, and expenses produced a 0.0 percent probability of breaching the SBA floor. Phase I ESA remained pending at the determination date.
