It is possible that there maybe less standalone Gas Stations in the future because some of the gas station owners sold the land to another company who uses the land to build a larger building with many floors where the owner of the building can sell each apartment for millions of dollars if the building is located in a city like New York where homes and apartments cost a lot.
I feel working at a gas station is not a good job because of robbery/shop lifting, rude customers, washing dirty toilets inside the station, and the risk of being blown up in a huge gas explosion. If it is a family gas station, a family member may eventually sell the gas station to a buyer who wants to buy the land build a building on, or for other things.
There are more people like old, thrifty, and poor people who are walking, using the local train, taxi and bus services in their town, or biking if they can't afford a car, or don't work at a regular job like a cashier everyday at a store. More people are driving electric cars which can be charged more affordably at home depending on the price of electricity where you live, or for free or a small price per watt of electricity at parking lots with electric charging cables, so the higher number of electrical cars may make fewer companies want to open gas stations because there is less gas buyers in the future.
