Demand Anchor & Uniqueness

Sumter is home to Shaw Air Force Base — the Air Force's largest combat F-16 wing, with ~8,200 active-duty members plus civilians and ~12,000 family members — a large military demand base beyond ordinary 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

  • Corporate credit guaranty from ARKO Corp., a Nasdaq-listed operator of approximately 3,500 stores, provides institutional-grade lease security through March
  • Direct major-road positioning with 13,800 AADT supports consistent fuel and convenience traffic with zero highway setback.
  • Three-mile homeownership rate of 73% and average household income of $79,044 indicate a relatively stable, owner-occupied consumer base surrounding the site.

Key Risks

  • Six competing gas stations within one mile represent significant fuel and convenience competition that could pressure renewal economics at lease expiration in
  • Sumter County population declined 0.7% from 2020 to 2024 with unemployment at 5.2%, limiting the demand growth needed to support rent increases at rollover.
  • The single remaining renewal option and a hard September 2030 notice deadline compress the investor's decision window, elevating rollover and re-tenanting risk for a 1970-vintage building.

Executive Summary

370 Pinewood Road is a 2,416 SF convenience store and gas station in Sumter, SC, operated by Youngs/Fas Mart under a GPM Investments corporate guarantee with 4.8 years of term remaining through March 2031. The site scores 59/100 on location grade, reflecting moderate trade-area fundamentals offset by meaningful competitive pressure. This is a mid-quality net lease offering appropriate for investors seeking near-term cash flow backed by a publicly traded guarantor with measured rollover risk on the horizon.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile population is thin at 4,647, though average household income reaches $74,523, suggesting a functional but not exceptional consumer base. The three-mile ring shows broader depth with 31,376 residents, 73% homeownership, and average household income of $79,044, indicating relative stability. Poverty levels rise to 15% at five miles, pointing to income stratification across the broader Sumter market.

Market Context

Sumter County is a sub-250K metro that has posted modest population decline, losing roughly 700 residents from 2020 to 2024, with unemployment at 5.2%, above national averages. The county base of 1,821 establishments and 30,656 employees reflects a modest but functional local economy. These metrics suggest limited organic growth tailwinds for the trade area.

Location Quality

The site sits directly on a major road with 13,800 vehicles per day and a Walk Score of 55, providing adequate but not exceptional drive-by exposure. Daytime employment density within one mile is low at 1,187 workers, though the three-mile daytime job count of 16,510 indicates broader regional draw potential. Twenty nearby restaurants and 19 retail destinations within one mile confirm a functioning retail corridor.

Risk Factors

The site carries no material environmental exposure given a FEMA Zone X flood designation. Competition is the primary physical concern, with six gas stations within one mile. No state-level crime data was available for independent review, which limits full risk underwriting.

Investment Positioning

With 4.8 years of term remaining, a buyer faces rollover risk entering 2031, and the single available renewal option with a September 2030 notice deadline creates near-term leasing event pressure. Current rent of $122,013 annually ($50.50/SF) is fixed with no disclosed rent at expiration, removing visibility into any escalation benefit. GPM Investments, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp. and the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides institutional-grade credit support that meaningfully reduces income risk during the remaining term, though ARKO's publicly reported operating pressures warrant monitoring.
