These could be Company-run stations being offered to Dealers. Or change in dealership.
- A dealer may have grown his other businesses & ignores [or doesn't pay the same attention] to the Fuel Station
- Retirement. Even a good dealer grows old.
- Company Run. Cheaper for KK to lease it out since the payroll & losses are shouldered by KK.
- A dealer who is not up to the task needs to be replaced
- Some dealers are short of cash [working capital] so they have stock-outs when they run out of fuel
- Mismanagement
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
