Last Chance' Truck Stop - Here's an excellent opportunity to operate your own thriving business which serves truckers, local folks, and people traveling through on business or vacation right on busy U.S. Highway 20. The truck stop is in an excellent location at the corner of State Hwy 137 and U.S. Hwy 20 on the outskirts of Newport, Nebraska, and sits on a 5.5 Acre lot that's included. The location is approximately 10 miles east of Bassett, NE, and 9 miles west of Stuart, NE. Hwy 20 is the main east/west corridor that connects northeast Nebraska to the Wyoming border. It is a favorite route for truckers and vacationers alike as one of the more scenic choices when going to and from the Black Hills.
Even though the Truck Stop was doing a very good business last summer, the owner was forced to close the doors due to health problems he's experienced. He decided, rather than reopen, he would sell. The Truck Stop is a 'Turnkey' business that would be ready to open as soon as food inventories are replenished.
The 'truck stop' is actually 3 businesses in one. It is a gas station, convenience store and café, all in one. It sells both regular gas and deasil fuel, where the fuel tanks are located above ground meeting all EPA standards and regulations. The convenience store had an excellent variety of snacks, drinks, and fresh bakery items. The café is noted for its good food and service and was open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which makes for a convenient place to stop and eat for truckers, vacationers and local residences. The truck stop is the only business in Newport that offers any of these services, and therefore receives a large portion of its business from locals, especially, when buying a hot meal.
The café is made up of 2 dining areas and a kitchen which is located on the backside of the building. The convenience store lies adjacent to the café and is equipped with a complete walk-in cooler system with easy access to soft drinks, beer, and other beverages. The 'regular' gas pumps are located in the front portion of the building, and deasil pumps are placed on the backside of the building for easy access by the larger 18 wheel transport trucks.
The building has 3 rooms upstairs, with access from the rear, that are not currently being used by the current owner. Plumbing for a bathroom upstairs is also set in place. However, the upstairs area allows for more options, such as, converting the space into living quarters that could improve one's financial situation and improve security. Another option the current owner has considered is to make the upstairs area a Trucker's lounge, complete with a Big Screen TV, chairs and couch, and bathroom. Game machines could also be considered. The lot consists of 5.5 acres of land that would be excellent for installing hook-ups sites for travelers in motor homes or pulling campers.
