I remember when all 7-11s (at least the ones I saw) had 2 pumps. Then the local regulations went through a few spasms and 7-11 got tired of replacing the tanks and dumped the gas. The Speedway near me is tiny, can’t imagine it’s making money, which sucks because it’s very convenient.
Meanwhile QT is out there with 20 pumps and 2000 square foot stores. It’s hard to compete with them. Circle-K in my area has been putting up megastores.
I don’t think I’d ever eat at a former gas station restaurant. I don’t trust the soil.
I don't know - I've had my share of coffee, buttered rolls, potato chips, and sandwiches that had a little grease, diesel, or parts cleaner flavoring.
