Investment Highlights

  • Corporate guarantor ARKO Corp. operates approximately 3,500 locations across 34 states, providing meaningful counterparty depth relative to a single-site operator.
  • The property sits within 0.40 miles of the nearest major road in a metro-adjacent county posting a low 3.5% unemployment rate.
  • Zero dollar or discount store competitors within 0.5 miles reduces one common source of convenience-store foot traffic erosion.

Key Risks

  • Traffic volume of only 3,854 AADT is materially below the 10,000-plus threshold typically associated with strong convenience-store performance, limiting organic sales growth.
  • Five competing gas stations within one mile intensify market share pressure in an already low-density trade area with a 16.1% poverty rate at three miles.
  • The lease expires May 2029 with only one 1-year renewal option, creating near-term rollover exposure that will compress buyer demand and likely widen the exit cap rate.

Executive Summary

This Village Pantry convenience store and gas station at 2400 S Main St, New Castle, IN is a mid-term net lease asset backed by GPM Investments/ARKO Corp. with 2.8 years of remaining term. The site scores 53/100 on location grade, reflecting modest traffic counts and a secondary market profile that will demand a risk-adjusted yield premium from institutional buyers.

Demographics

The 1-mile trade area holds 6,395 residents at a density of 2,036 per square mile, with average household income of $62,709 and an elevated poverty rate of 18.0%. The 3-mile ring expands to 20,888 residents but income and education metrics remain below national norms, with median home values of $120,866 and bachelor's degree attainment of only 15.0%. This is a working-class, price-sensitive consumer base consistent with the convenience-store format but limiting upside for above-average per-store sales performance.

Market Context

Henry County is a nonmetro, metro-adjacent market with near-flat population growth of 0.3% from 2020 to 2024 and a stable unemployment rate of 3.5%. The local economy supports 10,889 employees across 851 establishments, a modest base that constrains meaningful demand growth for the foreseeable term.

Location Quality

Site-level traffic is thin at 3,854 AADT, well below benchmarks for high-performing gas station locations, and daytime employment density within one mile totals just 1,278 jobs. Five competing gas stations exist within one mile, creating meaningful share pressure in a low-traffic corridor. A Walk Score of 51 and Bike Score of 35 confirm a car-dependent environment with limited organic foot traffic.

Risk Factors

The property falls in FEMA Flood Zone X, indicating minimal flood exposure. No state-level crime data was available for independent underwriting. Physical obsolescence is a consideration given the 1993 vintage and 3,836 SF building on a sub-acre parcel.

Investment Positioning

With only 2.8 years of term remaining at $73,744 in annual base rent and no stated rent at expiration, buyers face near-term rollover risk by mid-2029. The single 1-year renewal option provides minimal runway, and the notice deadline of September 2028 compresses the decision window further. GPM Investments, as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience-store operator with roughly 3,500 sites, provides credible corporate credit, but that credit profile does not eliminate re-tenanting or site-repositioning risk if the lease is not renewed. Buyers should underwrite to a re-leasing scenario and price accordingly.
