The owners of the gas stations would see greater economic benefit if EVs did not become popular.
So you could argue it's would be in the best interest of the owners to not allowing charging stations, as that would help to slow the uptake of EVs.

And the majority of these 'every day commuters' would currently own conventional cars.
Those who drive electric cars would be charging their cars at home and as such hardly every need to stop in these stores.
By replacing conventional cars with EVs will only see that tight profit margin getting tighter.
And that's with me making few convenience stops. There's lots of people that get a coffee every day, they aren't buying gas each time.
