Demand Anchor & Uniqueness

Marysville is the heart of Honda's U.S. manufacturing (the Marysville Auto Plant, Honda's longest-running U.S. plant; ~13,000+ Honda jobs across the Ohio operations) — a large daytime/employment demand base 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

  • Union County population grew 13.7 percent from 2020 to 2024, providing durable demand tailwinds for convenience retail.
  • The 3-mile average household income of $107,886 exceeds typical convenience-store trade-area benchmarks, supporting per-visit spending.
  • GPM Investments, backed by ARKO Corp., operates approximately 3,500 locations across 34 states, providing institutional-grade lease credit.

Key Risks

  • Only 4.6 years of remaining term with one renewal option creates meaningful rollover exposure beginning as early as August
  • The day-to-night population ratio of 0.38 indicates limited daytime traffic capture, which constrains peak-hour fuel and in-store volume.
  • AADT data was unavailable, leaving traffic volume and site-level sales productivity unverifiable without independent counts.

Executive Summary

This Fas Mart-branded convenience store and gas station at 1301 W 5th St in Marysville, Ohio is a net lease asset backed by GPM Investments, a subsidiary of publicly traded ARKO Corp., operating roughly 3,500 sites nationally. The property earns an Excellent location grade of 83 out of 100, supported by strong county-level population growth and above-average household incomes. With 4.6 years of remaining term and one renewal option remaining, the asset offers near-term income certainty with defined rollover risk.

Demographics

The 3-mile trade area holds 25,535 residents with average household income of $107,886, a low poverty rate of 7.3 percent, and a 71.5 percent owner-occupancy rate, indicating a stable, economically healthy consumer base. Daytime employment density is moderate, with 12,288 workers within 3 miles, though the 0.38 day-to-night ratio suggests the site is primarily a residential-serving rather than commuter-driven location.

Market Context

Union County has expanded meaningfully from 63,090 to 71,721 residents between 2020 and 2024, a 13.7 percent gain that ranks among the stronger growth trajectories in Ohio. A 3.4 percent unemployment rate and 28,035 total county employees reflect a functioning local economy capable of sustaining convenience retail demand.

Location Quality

The site is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 48 and sits 0.40 miles from the nearest major road, which is adequate but not a high-visibility arterial position. There is only one competing gas station within a mile, limiting direct fuel-price competition in the immediate vicinity.

Risk Factors

FEMA designates the site as Zone X, indicating minimal flood hazard. No EV charging infrastructure exists within 5 miles, which currently reduces competitive pressure from alternative-fuel alternatives. State-level crime statistics were not available for direct comparative analysis, which investors should independently verify.

Investment Positioning

The lease runs through February 2031, providing 4.6 years of contracted income at $277,302 annually, or $67.05 per square foot. Rent at expiration is not disclosed, limiting visibility into mark-to-market risk at rollover. The single remaining renewal option, with notice required by August 2030, creates a near-term decision point that will define asset holding risk. GPM Investments as guarantor carries the institutional weight of ARKO Corp., a Nasdaq-listed, SEC-reporting operator ranked sixth nationally by site count, which meaningfully supports credit quality for buyers prioritizing covenant strength over yield.
