The Process
Westmor is not only well-positioned to be your expert contact from pre-construction services all the way through installation, we’re here for the support of your petroleum equipment as well.
Here’s what the process looks like, and how we can help.
Each Step
1. Site Selection
If you’ve got a choice of properties to choose from or just want to make sure you build on the right area of your property, we can assist you in making the right decision.
2. Feasibility Study
Want to understand what will happen when you build a new store, build an addition or remodel? Westmor has the expertise to show you the potential outcome and feasibility of your plans.
3. Preliminary Design
Setting up a preliminary design helps to ensure everyone is on the same page with the project for for budget-estimating purposes. Elements include:
- Site Plan – Layout everything that is planned to make sure that it all fits in the allotted space with proper flow of traffic.
- Building Conceptual Design – Create a building concept prior to designing the details to make sure that it’s exactly what you had envisioned.
- Floor Plan – Ensure you have enough floor space for everything that you would like to include on the interior of your store.
- Equipment Plan – Make sure you’ve got enough equipment, and the right equipment, to keep your station running smoothly, and are able to serve your customers quickly and efficiently.
- 3D Modeling Option – Convert all of your plans into a 3D drawing to see your c-store brought to life. See it as a fly-through before it’s built.
4. Budget Estimating
Understand a conceptual budget for the plans in your preliminary design. This step allows for adjustments prior to finalizing your project.

Customers Noticed
Kelly from Northern Resources Coop in Roseau, MN, knew from the beginning that he didn’t want a ‘cookie cutter’ c-store. Prior to getting in contact with us, he compiled images of different features he liked on a variety of buildings. When planning of this store began with our Construction Management team, Westmor helped him incorporate exactly what he wanted in the new store!
Dave Douglas, Retail Division Manager of Mountain View Co-Op, talks about the changes they made and why they chose Westmor. Mountain View Co-Op desires to partner with companies that know c-stores. “The ultimate sign of a customer is if they come back– and we came back.”
