Demand Anchor & Uniqueness

Russells Point sits on Indian Lake, a regional boating/fishing resort destination in west-central Ohio, drawing seasonal recreation tourism beyond the small resident base.

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

  • Zero competing gas stations within one mile creates a captive fuel customer base in an otherwise car-dependent, rural trade area.
  • The lease guarantor, ARKO Corp., operates approximately 3,500 sites across 34 states, providing institutional-scale credit support for remaining cash flows.
  • FEMA Zone X designation confirms minimal flood hazard, reducing environmental and insurance risk for the asset.

Key Risks

  • Remaining lease term of only 1.6 years creates near-term vacancy exposure, with the renewal notice deadline falling August 2027 and only one option remaining.
  • One-mile poverty rate of 25.9 percent and thin daytime employment of 345 jobs signal weak underlying consumer demand that could pressure a renewal rent negotiation.
  • Population in Logan County is effectively flat, declining 29 residents from 2020 to 2024, offering no demographic tailwind to support rent growth or re-tenanting at higher rates.

Executive Summary

209 State Route 708 is a 2,960 SF Fas Mart convenience store and gas station operating in Russells Point, Ohio, a small nonmetro community in Logan County. The property earns a location grade of 60 out of 100, reflecting adequate but not exceptional trade area fundamentals. With 1.6 years of remaining lease term and a single renewal option, near-term rollover risk dominates the investment thesis.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile population is modest at 1,821 residents with above-average poverty of 25.9 percent and average household income of $61,512, limiting organic demand growth. The three-mile trade area expands to 4,436 residents with a slightly healthier income profile at $65,240 average household income, though median home values of $114,993 signal a working-class consumer base. Density is thin across all radii, topping out at 580 persons per square mile at one mile.

Market Context

Logan County is a nonmetro, metro-adjacent market with a flat population trend, declining fractionally from 46,114 to 46,085 between 2020 and 2024. The local economy supports 17,033 employees across 867 establishments, with unemployment at 4.2 percent. Daytime employment density within one mile is sparse at 345 jobs, limiting impulse traffic capture.

Location Quality

The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road with zero competing gas stations within one mile, providing meaningful local monopoly positioning for fuel and convenience needs. However, Walk Score of 37 confirms full car dependency, and nearby retail density is thin with only four retail establishments within one mile. A dollar store within 0.5 miles presents modest convenience merchandise competition.

Risk Factors

Flood risk is minimal under FEMA Zone X designation. No EV charging infrastructure exists within five miles, which is a neutral factor today but a long-term demand consideration. Crime data was unavailable for independent verification at the state level.

Investment Positioning

At $216,296 in annual base rent against a 1.6-year remaining term, a buyer faces imminent rollover risk with the critical notice date arriving August 2027. Rent at expiration is not disclosed, making it impossible to assess in-place rent versus market without additional diligence. The single remaining renewal option provides limited long-term income certainty. GPM Investments, as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience store operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides investment-grade-adjacent credit quality that partially offsets term risk, but buyers must underwrite re-tenanting or renewal negotiation scenarios aggressively.
