    Spoken like someone who’s never seen a land remediation project at a former gas station site.

    It’s only simple on paper.

      Considering that they need to go under land remediation anyway… I fail to see how it’s a problem to do it just a little earlier and keep the land/infrastructure in use.

        Ok but now you’re moving the goalposts. Before you just said it was a simple conversion. It’s just not, full stop.

        And now suddenly it’s moot because they have to do it anyway, cost and difficulty notwithstanding.

        I remain, regrettably, firmly unconvinced that the average service station franchisee is going to be incentivized to undertake this.
