Investment Highlights

  • GPM Investments, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp. operating approximately 3,500 stores, provides institutional-grade lease guaranty.
  • The one-mile population density of 2,539 persons per square mile supports consistent convenience retail demand.
  • FEMA Zone X designation confirms minimal flood hazard, reducing environmental and insurance risk.

Key Risks

  • With 0.8 years of remaining term and six competing gas stations within one mile, lease renewal at current or improved rent is uncertain.
  • A poverty rate of 33.9% within one mile and median home values of $80,117 within three miles signal weak consumer spending capacity.
  • Traffic of 11,206 vehicles per day falls below typical high-performing fuel site benchmarks, limiting organic volume growth.

Executive Summary

101 E Memorial Dr is a 2,400 SF Village Pantry convenience store and gas station in Muncie, Indiana, occupied by a GPM Investments subsidiary with approximately 0.8 years of remaining lease term. The site earns a location grade of 61 out of 100, reflecting adequate but not exceptional fundamentals anchored by a dense urban trade area tempered by elevated poverty and modest income levels. This is a near-term rollover play requiring buyers to underwrite both credit continuation and re-tenanting risk.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile population of 7,976 at a density of 2,539 per square mile provides a solid urban customer base, though average household income of $50,244 and a poverty rate of 33.9% indicate a price-sensitive consumer profile. The three-mile trade area expands to 51,681 residents but median home values of $80,117 and a 32.9% poverty rate confirm this as a below-average income market.

Market Context

Delaware County is a small metro market with stable but uninspiring population growth of 1.1% from 2020 to 2024 and unemployment of 3.9%. The county supports 2,308 total establishments and 40,300 employees, providing baseline commercial activity sufficient to sustain convenience retail demand without meaningful growth catalysts.

Location Quality

Traffic exposure of 11,206 vehicles per day is functional but below the thresholds typically associated with high-volume fuel sites, and the nearest major road sits one mile away, limiting impulse capture. The walk score of 63 and 20 nearby restaurants within one mile suggest adequate but not dominant retail positioning within the corridor.

Risk Factors

Flood risk is minimal under FEMA Zone X designation. The primary site risk is competitive density, with six gas stations operating within one mile, compressing fuel margin and customer retention potential for this operator.

Investment Positioning

With only 0.8 years remaining and a September 2026 renewal notice deadline, this asset presents immediate rollover exposure that will dominate the buyer's underwriting. Annual base rent of $37,492, or $15.62 per square foot, is a modest figure that may not reflect current market rents upon renewal or re-tenanting. The single one-year renewal option provides limited forward income visibility. GPM Investments as guarantor, backed by publicly traded ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 sites, represents credible institutional credit, but the short remaining term largely subordinates that credit quality to rollover risk in a buyer's return calculus.
