Investment Highlights

  • The lease guarantor is GPM Investments, a subsidiary of publicly traded ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience-store operator with approximately 3,500 locations across 34 states.
  • The site carries a FEMA Zone X flood designation, eliminating flood-related liability and insurance risk for a property built in
  • Fourteen restaurants and eleven retail tenants within one mile provide modest co-tenancy that supports baseline consumer traffic to the corridor.

Key Risks

  • The lease is in holdover with a remaining term of negative 0.4 years, meaning there is no contractual lease security and income can terminate with short notice.
  • Seven competing gas stations within one mile create severe market saturation relative to a five-mile population of only 4,064 residents at 26.1% poverty.
  • Williamsburg County population declined 3.4% from 2020 to 2024, unemployment sits at 6.1%, and average household income within five miles is $46,473, collectively indicating structural economic weakness.

Executive Summary

This single-tenant gas station and convenience store, operated by Youngs under the Fas Mart brand (GPM Investments/ARKO Corp.), sits on 0.70 acres at 1125 E Main St in Kingstree, SC. The lease has expired and is in holdover status, generating $72,598 in annual base rent, with a scored location grade of 32 out of 100. The asset presents a high-risk, short-horizon investment requiring immediate lease resolution and tenant commitment to justify acquisition.

Demographics

The trade area is sparsely populated, with only 4,064 residents within five miles at a density of 52 per square mile, average household income of $46,473, and a poverty rate of 26.1%. Demographic data within one and three miles is unavailable, suggesting a fragmented or underdeveloped coverage area rather than a dense retail node. These fundamentals are materially below thresholds institutional buyers typically require for gas station net lease underwriting.

Market Context

Kingstree anchors Williamsburg County, a nonmetro market that lost 3.4% of its population between 2020 and 2024, with unemployment at 6.1% against a thin commercial base of 473 total establishments and 6,547 employees. The retail sector is limited at 109 establishments, and the broader economic trajectory is contracting rather than stabilizing. Site-level traffic of 5,000 AADT is low for a convenience fuel stop and compounds the demand concerns.

Location Quality

The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road but draws only 5,000 vehicles per day, a figure that limits fuel volume and in-store sales potential. Seven competing gas stations within one mile create meaningful market saturation for a trade area this small. With a Walk Score of 32 and no transit access, the location is fully auto-dependent with no ambient foot traffic.

Risk Factors

FEMA designates the site Zone X, indicating minimal flood exposure. State-level crime data was not available for this analysis. No EV charging infrastructure exists within five miles, which currently represents a neutral factor but warrants monitoring as mobility trends evolve.

Investment Positioning

The lease expired February 28, 2026, and is in holdover, creating immediate rollover risk with no contractual income certainty beyond month-to-month. The renewal notice date of August 2, 2025 has passed, making tenant intention the central underwriting question. Current rent of $72,598 ($38.64/SF) lacks a disclosed expiration-period comparison, limiting mark-to-market analysis. GPM Investments, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides institutional-quality credit behind the lease, which is the primary mitigant. A buyer is effectively acquiring tenant credit exposure in a holdover structure within a declining, low-density market.
