Read MoreSFGATE: Bay Area Gas Station Owner Mike Shamsian Explains How He Sells Some of the Cheapest Fuels in the Bay Area
Shamsian started researching enterprises with more security for leaseholders and learned that gas stations are subject to a law that strengthens protections for retailers. He started looking for a pump to take over, and it was his wife Fariba who first learned that the Mill Valley Arco was about to hit the market. Shamsian started managing the station in 1995 (Arco’s owner, Marathon Petroleum, is still the landlord) and quickly saw that he’d have to take a risk if he was going to succeed. “I just had to go and sacrifice pricing,” he said.

Read MoreOn Sept. 16th, the City Council Unanimously Backed an Array of Exciting New Measures, from a Boyle Park Redesign, a Pair of Sand Volleyball Courts, Clarified Rules for Depot Plaza, the Case for Vibrancy and Much More
“The plaza was hopping all (last) weekend with families and kids and the elderly,” said Vice Mayor Stephen Burke. “It was really vibrant, and if we think back to this ordinance being addressed in 2015, the Depot was on life support entering a moment of real uncertainty. A lot has changed in our town, and the policies you’re putting are a recognition of that change. You’ve really hit your stride, and I trust that you’ll do the right thing,” Burke said to Howe.” “The intent is not to make Mill Valley into the Greek Theater,” Carmel said. “There is definitely a Mill Valley vibe. It’s not a loud rock n roll thing – just lively on the plaza. How do you bring vibrancy into downtown. We don’t control rent, but we can do certain things about how to make downtown vibrant.”
