Of course it would cost more. The gas station down the street would go
out of business pretty quick if they sold the amount of gas the FBO
does.

Actually most gas stations these days don't make their money selling gas,
they make it selling cigarettes, lottery tickets, and twinkies. That's where
the margin is- gas is often sold quite close to cost.

Movie theaters aren't much different. A friend of a friend owns a theater,
and he says that popcorn and soda is where his profits come from. Ticket
sales just barely cover the costs of showing the movie.
