Demand Anchor & Uniqueness

Wilmington is a coastal port city on the Cape Fear River with ~$1.14B in annual visitor spending, anchored by nearby Wrightsville, Carolina, and Kure beaches, UNCW, the Port of Wilmington, and a major film-production industry ("Wilmywood"). Tourism and student demand supplement the resident base.

The location score above reflects resident-market real-estate fundamentals and does not incorporate seasonal or destination demand; consider this note alongside the store-level coverage (CFC) when assessing the asset.

Investment Highlights

  • Exceptional consumer spending power surrounds the site, with 1-mile average household income of $168,062 supporting above-average convenience and fuel transaction volumes.
  • Traffic exposure is strong at 36,500 AADT with direct access 0.01 miles from a major road, minimizing friction for drive-by capture.
  • The lease guarantor, ARKO Corp. (Nasdaq: ARKO), operates roughly 3,500 locations across 34 states, providing publicly accountable, enterprise-scale credit backing.

Key Risks

  • With only 3.6 years remaining, the lease rolls in March 2030, compressing the buyer's stabilized income window and introducing renewal or re-tenanting execution risk within a short hold horizon.
  • The 1984 vintage 1,909 SF building is below the 3,000-plus SF standard of contemporary c-store prototypes, potentially limiting tenant interest or requiring capital investment at rollover.
  • Nineteen EV charging stations already operating within 5 miles signal a maturing alternative fueling infrastructure that may gradually erode gasoline traffic over the next lease cycle.

Executive Summary

This Scotchman-branded convenience store and gas station at 6126 Oleander Dr, Wilmington, NC is a well-located net lease asset earning $183,020 annually against a 3.6-year remaining term. The site earns an 85/100 location grade, supported by 36,500 vehicles per day, affluent surrounding demographics, and a rapidly growing coastal metro. The tenant of record is GPM Investments, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience store operator by site count.

Demographics

The 3-mile trade area holds 43,842 residents with average household income of $130,387, median home values of $456,267, and a 52.9% bachelor's degree attainment rate — well above national norms for a c-store format. The 1-mile ring averages $168,062 in household income, signaling a premium consumer base directly adjacent to the site. Poverty rates remain modest at 12.0% within 3 miles, consistent with a stable, spending-capable customer pool.

Market Context

New Hanover County posted 7.5% population growth from 2020 to 2024, reaching 243,333 residents, with unemployment at a tight 3.1%. The county supports 8,516 business establishments and 114,702 employees, reflecting a diversified, active local economy. Wilmington's coastal positioning and ongoing in-migration trends provide durable long-term demand fundamentals for convenience retail.

Location Quality

The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road corridor with 36,500 AADT, delivering strong and consistent drive-by capture. Competitive density is limited, with only two competing gas stations within one mile and none of the dollar-store cannibalization common to lower-tier c-store locations. The walk score of 33 confirms an auto-centric trade area where gas station and convenience formats outperform.

Risk Factors

The site is in FEMA Flood Zone X, indicating minimal flood hazard and no material weather-related structural risk. With 19 EV charging stations within 5 miles, long-range fuel demand erosion is a slow but measurable secular headwind for the format. The building dates to 1984, and at 1,909 SF, it sits at the smaller end of modern c-store footprints, potentially limiting repositioning flexibility post-lease.

Investment Positioning

At 3.6 years of remaining term, this asset is squarely in near-term rollover territory, which will price it wider than long-duration paper. Rent at expiration is not disclosed, and there is one remaining renewal option with a September 2029 notice deadline, meaning a buyer must engage tenant renewal discussions within roughly two years of closing. The guarantor — GPM Investments, backed by ARKO Corp. — is a publicly traded, SEC-reporting operator of approximately 3,500 sites, providing institutional-grade credit visibility. Buyers accept rollover risk but receive a credible counterparty and a high-income trade area to support re-leasing or repositioning if renewal does not occur.
