503 W Gannon Ave is a 4,107 SF Scotchman-branded convenience store and gas station in Zebulon, NC, operated by GPM Investments under the Fas Mart platform. The site carries an average location grade of 54/100, reflecting modest traffic counts and a competitive fueling environment that temper an otherwise stable suburban Wake County address. With only 1.6 years of term remaining, this offering is effectively a near-term rollover play priced around tenant credit and renewal probability.
The immediate one-mile trade area holds 3,829 residents at a density of 1,219 per square mile with average household income of $82,110 and a 14.2% poverty rate, signaling a working-class customer base. The three-mile ring expands to 13,750 residents, average household income of $93,195, and 72.2% homeownership, providing a more stable spending foundation. Wake County's 9.0% population growth from 2020 to 2024 supports long-run demand, though Zebulon sits on the county's eastern fringe rather than its high-growth core.
Wake County is a 1M-plus metro with 530,994 employees across 33,076 establishments and a 2.9% unemployment rate, reflecting one of the stronger regional economies in the Southeast. Zebulon benefits from county-level momentum but commands meaningfully lower density and traffic volumes than the Raleigh-Cary core. The daytime employment base of 1,977 workers within one mile and a day-to-night ratio of 0.52 indicate limited commuter capture potential for a fuel and convenience format.
A Walk Score of 53 and Bike Score of 34 reflect a car-dependent suburban setting appropriate for a gas station format. Traffic at 4,800 AADT is below the threshold typically underwritten for top-tier fuel sites, and 11 competing gas stations within one mile represents a densely competitive fueling corridor. Twenty nearby restaurants and retailers within one mile provide modest co-tenancy support.
Flood exposure is minimal at FEMA Zone X. No EV charging infrastructure exists within five miles, which currently removes a competitive threat but does not eliminate longer-term demand-shift risk. Crime statistics were unavailable for independent underwriting verification.
With 1.6 years of remaining term and a September 2027 renewal notice deadline, a buyer acquires near-term rollover risk rather than stable cash flow. Current rent of $106,152 annually represents $25.85 per square foot with no disclosed rent at expiration, removing forward income visibility. GPM Investments, guaranteed by publicly traded ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. c-store operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides meaningful credit quality, but one of two renewal options exercised at near-market rent is the critical underwriting variable. Buyers must underwrite a re-leasing or repositioning scenario at acquisition.
