Investment Highlights

  • Corporate-guaranteed lease backed by ARKO Corp., a publicly traded, SEC-reporting operator of approximately 3,500 convenience sites across 34 states, providing institutional-grade credit support.
  • Sussex County population grew 13.6% from 2020 to 2024, creating a rising demand backdrop for fuel and convenience services along rural corridors.
  • Only one competing gas station exists within one mile, supporting the site's local market share in a supply-constrained, auto-dependent trade area.

Key Risks

  • Remaining lease term of 1.3 years creates immediate rollover exposure, with the renewal notice date of March 2027 leaving a buyer very limited time to assess and negotiate continuity.
  • The three-mile poverty rate of 23.0% is meaningfully above national averages, pressuring inside-store margin contribution and limiting rent growth potential upon renewal.
  • The one-mile daytime employment base of only 690 workers reflects thin captive demand, increasing the site's dependence on pass-through traffic volumes that remain unquantified given unavailable AADT data.

Executive Summary

FasMart Store 2522 at 12712 Sussex Hwy, Greenwood, DE is a 1,810 SF convenience and fuel site on 1.48 acres, operating under a lease expiring November 2027 with roughly 1.3 years of term remaining. The location scores 67 out of 100 and presents a near-term lease rollover story in a low-density rural Sussex County corridor. Investors should underwrite this as a short-term income play with renewal optionality, not a long-term stabilized asset.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile trade area registers negligible residential population, with meaningful density only emerging at three miles, where 5,945 residents generate average household income of $84,868. The three-mile poverty rate of 23.0% is elevated and warrants attention for discretionary fuel and in-store spend assumptions. Owner occupancy of 88.1% within three miles suggests a stable, if modest, rural residential base.

Market Context

Sussex County has posted strong population growth of 13.6% from 2020 to 2024, reaching 271,134 residents, driven largely by coastal and retirement migration. The county's nonmetro-adjacent classification and 3.7% unemployment rate reflect a functioning local economy with 76,709 total employees across 6,358 establishments. Daytime employment within three miles totals only 1,668 jobs, limiting peak-hour capture beyond commuter pass-through traffic.

Location Quality

The site sits 0.01 miles from its primary road, providing strong ingress visibility, but Walk Score of 28 confirms near-total auto dependency. With only one competing gas station within a mile and nine nearby restaurants, the site holds a defensible local position in a thin-supply environment. Low surrounding retail density limits cross-shopping synergies but also constrains competitive pressure.

Risk Factors

FEMA designates the site Zone X, indicating minimal flood exposure. State-level violent and property crime data were unavailable, which limits a complete public safety underwrite. With only three EV charging stations within five miles, near-term EV displacement risk is low, though the long-run secular shift in fuel demand remains a structural concern for fuel-dependent convenience operators.

Investment Positioning

With 1.3 years of lease term remaining and a March 2027 renewal notice deadline, a buyer acquires acute rollover risk on day one. Annual base rent of $225,405 at $124.53 per square foot provides current income, but rent at expiration is unavailable, making yield-at-rollover difficult to model precisely. GPM Investments, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp. and the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 sites, provides meaningful institutional credit quality, reducing the probability of pre-expiration default. The single renewal option gives modest but real upside if GPM elects to stay; a buyer must price the vacancy risk if they do not.
