Why are gas stations all run by Indians?
<|assistant|>
Gas stations have historically been a relatively low-cost franchise opportunity, and many of the first retail outlets for gas were opened by Indians. The industry has remained a popular franchise opportunity for Indian business owners ever since, due to their access to financing, familiarity with the industry, and desire to provide their community with economic opportunities. In addition, many Indian restaurateurs have expanded their offerings to include convenience store options alongside their restaurant. This allows for efficiency in sourcing and distribution of food supplies as well as cross-promotion of the restaurant and convenience store.
