.. good question 
lets see
gas
    $ 10000/$2.59 regular gas =3861 gallons per day
      3861 *  $0.11average profit margin = $ 425
               monthly income from gas 425*30 =$12742
 
grocery
$ 2500*.33 ( average percent margin on grocery) =$ 825 =>>this is minimum bastards makes way more then that.
                 monthly 825*30 = $24750
 
therefore gas+ grocery = $12742 + $24750 = $ 37491 which is just revenue, not including lottery, phone card 

now expenses
 1)  employee 18hrs* $9 average rate = $262/day
               monthly 262*30          = $4860

2) rent                                       = $7000
3) electricity + water                  = $ 3000
4) insurance                               = $ 750
5) phone + utilities                      = $400
6) pump repair and misc expanse  = $500             
7) last but not least
     THEFT FROM EMPLOYEE + CROOK CUSTOMERS = $ 600 lets assume

Total Expanse = $ 17110

gross profit = $ 37491 - 17110 = $20381  according to my calculation.

Conclusion: store is doing great job.
