Investment Highlights

  • The guarantor, GPM Investments under ARKO Corp., is a publicly traded, SEC-reporting operator with approximately 3,500 locations, providing meaningful credit depth for the remaining lease term.
  • Highway proximity of 0.01 miles to the nearest major road offers direct arterial access that partially mitigates the low AADT count.
  • FEMA Zone X designation confirms minimal flood exposure, eliminating a common environmental liability concern for fuel-retail sites.

Key Risks

  • With only 0.8 years of remaining term and one short one-year renewal option, a buyer faces near-immediate re-leasing or vacancy risk on a 1973-vintage, 3,190-square-foot building.
  • Twelve competing gas stations within one mile represent severe market saturation that could impair operator economics and reduce the tenant's motivation to renew at current rent levels.
  • A 24.6% poverty rate within one mile and average household income of $71,787 reflect a structurally weak consumer base that limits alternative retail repositioning if the tenant vacates.

Executive Summary

This Village Pantry (Fas Mart / GPM Investments) net lease asset at 1201 S 9th St, Richmond, IN carries a location grade of 55 out of 100, reflecting a modestly populated, economically stressed secondary market with limited traffic volume. The investment thesis hinges almost entirely on near-term lease rollover management and the credit quality of the guarantor rather than on location fundamentals.

Demographics

The 1-mile trade area holds 9,502 residents at a density of 3,025 per square mile, but average household income of $71,787 and a 24.6% poverty rate signal a value-oriented, financially constrained consumer base. The 3-mile population of 36,034 earns a median-adjusted average of $66,950 with a $116,387 median home value, both well below national benchmarks.

Market Context

Wayne County is a nonmetro urban county with essentially flat population growth, down 0.2% from 2020 to 2024, and a 4.0% unemployment rate. With 1,429 total business establishments and 25,713 employees, the local economy is modest in scale and offers limited organic demand drivers for retail fuel and convenience.

Location Quality

Site AADT of 3,739 vehicles per day is low for a gas station format and represents a material underwriting concern relative to typical fuel-and-convenience traffic thresholds. Twelve competing gas stations within one mile compound the exposure, and a daytime employment ratio of 0.21 suggests the surrounding corridor lacks the density of office or industrial workers that drive convenience store capture rates.

Risk Factors

Flood risk is minimal under FEMA Zone X. No elevated environmental or natural hazard concerns are flagged. Crime data is unavailable at the state level for this analysis, which limits full risk disclosure to prospective buyers.

Investment Positioning

With only 0.8 years of remaining term and a notice deadline of September 3, 2026, a buyer acquires near-certain rollover risk at or near closing. Current rent is $101,626 annually at $31.86 per square foot, and no rent at expiration or escalation data is available to benchmark renewal economics. The single 1-year renewal option provides minimal extension runway. GPM Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience store operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides institutional-grade credit support, but that credit quality does not offset the operational and re-leasing risk embedded in this sub-one-year term.
