This net lease convenience store and gas station at 350 S Main St, Kenton, OH operates under the Fas Mart brand with GPM Investments as guarantor, offering 5.1 years of remaining term at $54,373 annually. The site earned an Average location grade of 47/100, reflecting modest trade area fundamentals in a nonmetro Ohio county. The deal's appeal rests primarily on corporate credit quality rather than location strength.
The relevant trade area is anchored by a 3-mile population of 8,227 residents at a sparse density of 291 per square mile, with average household income of $60,914 and a 20.1% poverty rate — both indicators of a stressed, lower-income consumer base. Median home values of $107,690 and median rent of $672 underscore limited household wealth. These metrics are consistent with a small rural county seat with constrained organic demand growth.
Hardin County is a nonmetro, metro-adjacent market with a modestly declining population, falling from 30,722 in 2020 to 30,402 in 2024, a 1.0% contraction. With 428 total business establishments and 6,298 employees countywide, the local economic base is thin. Unemployment of 4.7% sits near national averages but masks limited employment diversification in the broader area.
The site benefits from a Walk Score of 79 and proximity to 19 restaurants and 20 retail destinations within one mile, suggesting an active downtown corridor. Positioning 0.01 miles from a major road supports convenience-driven traffic capture. However, the complete absence of AADT data limits confidence in traffic volume assumptions.
The site sits within FEMA Flood Zone AE, indicating a 1% annual chance of flooding, which introduces insurance cost and property damage exposure. Eleven competing gas stations within one mile represents an exceptionally high competitive density for a small-market site. County population is contracting and the local poverty rate of 20.1% constrains consumer spending power.
With 5.1 years remaining through August 2031 and one renewal option exercisable with notice by January 2031, a buyer faces near-term rollover risk in a secondary market with limited re-tenanting upside. Current rent of $54,373 ($16.63/SF) provides no visibility into rent at expiration, reducing underwriting precision. The guarantor, GPM Investments as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with approximately 3,500 locations, provides meaningful institutional credit support that is the primary investment thesis for this asset.
