Sounds like a very marginally, if at all, profitable business. Or, it's badly managed. There's not a lot of profit in selling gasoline unless you're a high volume seller. I don't know how many frequent the retail quick mart business at this station, but that's most likely the part of his business that the "make it or break it" aspect of the enterprise.
