Investment Highlights

  • The lease is guaranteed by GPM Investments, a subsidiary of publicly traded ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience-store operator with approximately 3,500 sites nationally.
  • FEMA Zone X designation confirms minimal flood hazard, eliminating a material insurance and physical risk concern.
  • Proximity of 0.03 miles to the nearest major road provides the site's best competitive asset: direct arterial visibility.

Key Risks

  • Seven competing gas stations exist within one mile of a three-mile population base of only 2,096 residents, indicating severe market saturation.
  • Lee County has lost 3.6% of its population from 2020 to 2024, reducing long-term demand and making re-tenanting difficult if GPM does not exercise its renewal option.
  • With 4.6 years to expiration and no disclosed rent escalation, the buyer accepts flat income and meaningful rollover exposure in a structurally weakening rural market.

Executive Summary

This net lease convenience store and gas station at 431 N Main St, Bishopville, SC is occupied by Youngs/Fas Mart under a GPM Investments guaranty expiring March 2031, with 4.6 years of remaining term. The site scores a weak 39/100 on location grade, reflecting thin rural demographics, meaningful competitive density, and a declining county population base. Credit quality is the primary investment thesis; real estate fundamentals are subordinate.

Demographics

The immediate trade area is extremely sparse, with zero recorded population within one mile and only 2,096 residents within three miles at a density of 74 per square mile. Average household income of $63,005 and a poverty rate of 17.8% at three miles reflect a modest, economically stressed consumer base. The five-mile population of 3,510 provides limited upside for volume growth.

Market Context

Lee County is a nonmetro, rural, metro-adjacent market that has shed 3.6% of its population since 2020, now sitting at 15,958 residents. Unemployment at 5.8% runs above national norms, and the county's 210 total establishments and 2,094 employees signal a thin local economy with limited commercial momentum. These structural headwinds constrain tenant sales potential and reduce residual real estate value at lease expiration.

Location Quality

The site sits 0.03 miles from a major road, providing adequate roadside exposure, but walk and bike scores of 46 each confirm car-dependent access with no meaningful pedestrian or alternative-transit demand. Seven competing gas stations within one mile represent severe competitive saturation relative to the trade area population.

Risk Factors

Flood exposure is minimal under FEMA Zone X designation. However, the competitive and demographic environment presents meaningful operational risk for the tenant. No EV infrastructure concerns are immediate, but three charging stations within five miles signal early-stage transition risk in a low-density market.

Investment Positioning

With 4.6 years remaining and one renewal option at a September 2030 notice date, a buyer faces near-term rollover risk in a market offering limited re-tenanting alternatives. Annual base rent of $66,497 ($24.39/SF) is modest, and no rent escalation at expiration is disclosed, suggesting flat cash flow through term. The guarantor, GPM Investments as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience-store operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides meaningful institutional credit support. That credit quality is the core of the investment case, as the real estate has limited standalone value in a declining rural market.
