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 roughly 3,500 locations across 34 states.
  • The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road, providing immediate arterial visibility critical to fuel-driven impulse traffic.
  • Sullivan County posted 3.4% unemployment and 2.8% population growth through 2024, reflecting a stable if modest economic backdrop.

Key Risks

  • With only 1.3 years of remaining term and a single renewal option, a buyer faces near-term rollover risk with limited contractual income certainty beyond late
  • Sixteen competing gas stations within one mile create an intensely competitive fuel environment that pressures operator margins and weakens tenant re-leasing leverage.
  • The one-mile poverty rate of 29.4% and average household income of $50,482 reflect a constrained consumer base that limits inside-store sales growth and overall site productivity.

Executive Summary

FasMart Store 2553 at 817 Lynn Garden Dr is a 3,794 SF convenience store on 0.81 acres in Kingsport, Tennessee, occupied by GPM Investments under a lease expiring November 2027. The site scores 68/100 on location grade, reflecting adequate but not exceptional fundamentals. With only 1.3 years of remaining term, this offering is essentially a near-term rollover play priced on a below-market rent structure.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile trade area shows a population of 4,598 with a 29.4% poverty rate and average household income of $50,482, indicating a value-oriented consumer base. The three-mile ring broadens to 32,639 residents with average household income of $68,394, more representative of the broader Kingsport market. Population density remains suburban-light at roughly 1,154 per square mile at three miles, sufficient for a convenience fuel format but not indicative of a high-volume urban node.

Market Context

Sullivan County is a stable mid-tier metro market with 2.8% population growth from 2020 to 2024 and a low unemployment rate of 3.4%, suggesting a functioning local economy. Kingsport anchors the Tri-Cities MSA, a mature Appalachian region without meaningful near-term growth catalysts. Retail and food service establishment counts are adequate but reflect a secondary market that will not generate significant rent escalation pressure at renewal.

Location Quality

The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road, providing direct arterial exposure. However, 16 competing gas stations within one mile and two within half a mile represent a dense competitive environment that constrains pricing power and volume upside. A Walk Score of 49 confirms car-dependent access, consistent with the convenience fuel format but offering no pedestrian demand supplementation.

Risk Factors

The FEMA flood designation is Zone X, indicating minimal flood hazard. State-level crime data was not available for direct scoring. The site faces no material environmental or physical hazard flags based on available inputs.

Investment Positioning

With 1.3 years of term remaining and a March 2027 notice deadline for the single renewal option, a buyer assumes near-term rollover risk at acquisition. Current rent is $107,485 annually at $28.33 per square foot, and no rent at expiration figure is disclosed, making it impossible to assess in-place versus market rent spread. The guarantor, GPM Investments as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator at approximately 3,500 locations, provides meaningful credit support. However, ARKO has faced margin pressure publicly, and short remaining term limits the duration of that credit benefit to any buyer.
