Demand Anchor & Uniqueness

Bellefontaine is home to Mad River Mountain, Ohio's largest ski resort (20+ trails), plus proximity to Indian Lake — adding seasonal winter-recreation demand beyond resident rooftops.

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 site commands a complete monopoly on fuel retail within one mile, with zero competing gas stations in that radius.
  • GPM Investments, backed by publicly traded ARKO Corp., provides SEC-reporting, institutional-grade lease guaranty across a 3,500-site national platform.
  • Highway adjacency of 0.01 miles to the nearest major road maximizes drive-by capture in a car-dependent market with a Walk Score of 43.

Key Risks

  • Lease expiration in June 2027 with only 0.9 years remaining creates immediate rollover risk and compresses a buyer's window to execute renewal.
  • The 3-mile and 5-mile population figures are identical at 15,409, indicating no meaningful population growth corridor and limited upside in demand fundamentals.
  • Logan County population declined from 46,114 to 46,085 between 2020 and 2024, signaling a flat-to-contracting regional economy that may limit rent growth upon renewal negotiation.

Executive Summary

This 2,090 SF Fas Mart convenience store and gas station at 1138 N Main St, Bellefontaine, OH carries an Excellent location grade of 74/100 and sits 0.01 miles from a major road with zero competing gas stations within one mile. The asset offers near-term lease rollover risk offset by a nationally scaled, publicly traded guarantor and a dominant local site position. The investment thesis hinges on renewal execution rather than long-term income certainty.

Demographics

The one-mile trade area holds 4,374 residents at 1,392 persons per square mile with average household income of $69,557, consistent with a working-class convenience and fuel demand base. The three-mile population expands to 15,409 with average household income of $72,812 and 61.5% owner occupancy, suggesting a stable, rooted customer base. Poverty at 16.1% within three miles warrants attention but is not atypical for a rural county seat convenience format.

Market Context

Bellefontaine serves as the Logan County seat in a nonmetro, metro-adjacent county of approximately 46,085 residents that has been essentially flat since 2020. With 17,033 total county employees and 4.2% unemployment, the local economy is modest but functional. The 3-mile and 5-mile populations are identical at 15,409, confirming limited suburban sprawl and a self-contained, stable demand catchment.

Location Quality

The site's 0.01-mile proximity to a major road and monopoly fuel position within a one-mile radius are strong operational advantages. Daytime employment density within three miles reaches 7,184 jobs, supporting commuter traffic despite a car-dependent Walk Score of 43. No EV charging stations exist within five miles, which extends the near-term relevance of the fuel offer but may become a structural headwind over a longer hold.

Risk Factors

Flood exposure is minimal under FEMA Zone X designation. No competing gas stations within one mile limits price competition risk at the site level. Crime data was unavailable for state-level benchmarking, leaving one underwriting variable unresolved.

Investment Positioning

With only 0.9 years of remaining term and a notice deadline of December 3, 2026, this is a near-term rollover transaction, not a stabilized income play. The current rent of $180,247 annually ($86.24/SF) provides no expiration comparison, creating pricing uncertainty around renewal terms. GPM Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides meaningful credit quality, but one of two renewal options has already been exercised, leaving only one remaining. A buyer accepts rollover execution risk in exchange for a dominant site and an institutional-grade tenant.
