Demand Anchor & Uniqueness

Sumter is home to Shaw Air Force Base (Air Force's largest combat F-16 wing; ~8,200 active-duty plus families), a major military demand 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

  • The lease guarantor is GPM Investments, backed by ARKO Corp., a publicly traded operator with roughly 3,500 locations across 34 states, providing institutional-grade credit for the remaining term.
  • The property carries FEMA Flood Zone X designation, indicating minimal flood hazard and reducing environmental liability exposure for a buyer.
  • The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road, confirming direct arterial access despite the low absolute traffic count of 1,750 vehicles per day.

Key Risks

  • Traffic volume of only 1,750 vehicles per day is critically low for fuel retail viability, raising serious questions about store-level economics and GPM's incentive to renew.
  • Six competing gas stations within one mile create severe market saturation that compresses pricing power and undermines the re-tenanting thesis if GPM vacates.
  • Sumter County's population declined 0.7% between 2020 and 2024, with unemployment at 5.2%, limiting organic demand growth and alternative tenant options at lease expiration.

Executive Summary

This net lease gas station and convenience store at 2330 Peach Orchard Road, Sumter, SC is a short-duration income play anchored by GPM Investments under the Fas Mart banner, with 1.6 years of remaining term and one renewal option. The site scores 42 out of 100 on location quality, reflecting low traffic counts, a car-dependent environment, and meaningful competitive pressure nearby. Buyers are essentially underwriting near-term rollover risk against a publicly traded guarantor in a secondary market.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile trade area returns no usable population data, suggesting the site sits in a sparse or industrial corridor. At three miles, the population of 11,392 with average household income of $78,911 and a poverty rate of 10.7% is adequate but not compelling for a convenience-store format. The five-mile population of 19,913 at $74,773 average household income confirms a thin, moderately stressed consumer base.

Market Context

Sumter County is a small metro market with a declining population, down 0.7% from 2020 to 2024, and unemployment of 5.2%, above most Sun Belt peers. The county supports 374 retail establishments and 151 food service operators across a workforce of roughly 30,600, indicating a modestly scaled local economy. This is not a growth market, and that limits the upside case for any rent re-pricing at renewal.

Location Quality

A Walk Score of 34 and Bike Score of 32 confirm full auto dependency, which is table stakes for a gas station but offers no pedestrian capture upside. Daily traffic at the site is only 1,750 vehicles, an unusually low count for a functioning fuel retail location. Twelve nearby restaurants and ten retail tenants within one mile provide some co-tenancy, but do not compensate for the weak traffic fundamentals.

Risk Factors

The site is located in FEMA Flood Zone X, presenting minimal environmental exposure. State-level crime data was unavailable for independent assessment. No other material environmental or physical risk flags were identified in the provided data set.

Investment Positioning

With 1.6 years to lease expiration in March 2028 and a notice deadline of September 2027, a buyer faces near-term rollover risk with limited runway to act. Current rent of $51,856 annually at $21.28 per square foot provides modest income, but no rent-at-expiration figure is available to assess escalation or mark-to-market potential. The guarantor, GPM Investments as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience-store operator, provides meaningful credit quality, but that strength does not offset the site's operational and re-tenanting risk if GPM elects not to renew.
