Fancy Owning a Gas Station? This Norwalk One's for Sale

If you're looking to buy property with a gas station on it, the one at 479 Main Ave. is available to purchase by bid this May.

The gas station is located on old Route 7 just south of the state Department of Motor Vehicles office and on the other side of the street.

The property is one of 16 gas stations and 29 commercial and retail properties around the country being sold through a bidding process by NRC Realty & Capital Advisoers and Getty Realty Corp.

"Many of the sites are currently being operated by licensees under month-to-month license agreements," NRC says in an announcement issued Wednesday. "The properties are being sold without gas brand or fuel supply."

According to the news release, the sales will take place through a bidding process that NRC uses:

"The properties will be sold using NRC’s well-known 'buy one, some or all' sealed bid sale process. Property Specific Packages (due diligence packages) are expected to be available in May, with a bid deadline of May 13, 2014.
