Investment Highlights

  • GPM Investments, backed by ARKO Corp., provides investment-grade-quality credit across a 3,500-site national platform, underpinning lease security through
  • Berkeley County population grew 14.2 percent from 2020 to 2024, offering a macro tailwind for regional fuel demand.
  • Zero EV charging stations within five miles reduces near-term demand displacement risk at this rural location.

Key Risks

  • Three competing gas stations exist within 0.5 miles, creating direct fuel price and volume pressure on a site already scoring 45 out of 100 on location quality.
  • The one-mile residential population is reported at zero, meaning the site has no walkable captive customer base and is entirely dependent on pass-through traffic of 15,100 AADT.
  • With only 4.8 years of term remaining and renewal notice required by September 2030, a buyer assumes meaningful rollover risk on a below-average rural asset with unspecified renewal rent terms.

Executive Summary

This net lease convenience store and gas station at 1487 Main St, Bonneau, SC is operated by Youngs under the Fas Mart brand, a GPM Investments concept backed by publicly traded ARKO Corp. The site earned an average location grade of 45 out of 100, reflecting modest rural demographics, limited density, and elevated near-field competition. At $44,535 in annual base rent with 4.8 years of term remaining, the investment thesis rests heavily on credit quality rather than location strength.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile trade area reports zero residential population, indicating the site draws from a dispersed rural catchment rather than a walkable neighborhood core. The three-mile ring captures 4,182 residents at a low density of 148 per square mile, with average household income of $86,085 and an 82.9 percent owner-occupancy rate suggesting stable, longer-tenured households. The five-mile population of 5,829 at a density of 74 per square mile confirms this is a thin, drive-to market with limited organic demand growth.

Market Context

Berkeley County is a genuine growth story, expanding 14.2 percent from 231,508 to 264,276 residents between 2020 and 2024, with unemployment at a healthy 3.5 percent. However, Bonneau itself sits on the rural periphery of that growth corridor, and county-level tailwinds may not translate meaningfully to this specific node. The site's 15,100 AADT provides a functional traffic base for a convenience fuel stop but is not exceptional for a competitive fuel market.

Location Quality

The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road, providing good arterial visibility, but a Walk Score of 22 confirms near-total car dependency with negligible pedestrian or transit support. Four nearby restaurants and seven retail destinations within one mile represent a thin amenity ecosystem that does little to reinforce destination traffic.

Risk Factors

Flood exposure is minimal under FEMA Zone X, and no EV charging stations exist within five miles, limiting near-term electrification disruption at this rural location. Crime data is unavailable at the state level as reported, which limits a full risk underwrite.

Investment Positioning

With 4.8 years of remaining term expiring March 2031 and a single renewal option, a buyer faces a near-to-medium-term rollover event on an average-graded rural site. At $12.22 per square foot, rent is modest and renewal economics are unspecified, creating re-leasing uncertainty. The guarantor, GPM Investments as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 sites, provides meaningful institutional credit support that partially offsets location risk for the hold period.
