Investment Highlights

  • GPM Investments, backed by publicly traded ARKO Corp., provides investment-grade-quality guarantee across a 3,500-site national platform.
  • Average household income of $99,538 within three miles indicates a financially stable, low-poverty customer base supporting consistent convenience spend.
  • Proximity of 0.01 miles to a major road maximizes drive-by capture in a car-dependent market with a Walk Score of 30.

Key Risks

  • Only 3.2 years of remaining lease term creates near-term rollover exposure in a low-density market of 4,267 residents within five miles.
  • Shelby County posted population decline of 0.4 percent from 2020 to 2024, reducing confidence in long-term operator renewal motivation.
  • One direct fuel competitor within half a mile pressures volume in a catchment generating only 2,699 daytime workers within three miles.

Executive Summary

404 W Pike St is a 2,559 SF convenience store and gas station operated by Fas Mart under a GPM Investments lease expiring August 2029, located in rural Jackson Center, Ohio within Shelby County. The asset offers a near-term income stream backed by a publicly traded guarantor, but limited population density, a below-average location grade of 52 out of 100, and modest market fundamentals constrain long-term upside.

Demographics

The trade area is thinly populated, with the 3-mile ring holding just 4,267 residents at a density of 151 per square mile, and the 5-mile ring producing no incremental population gain. Average household income of $99,538 and low poverty at 6.6% reflect a stable but small rural customer base with limited growth runway.

Market Context

Shelby County is a nonmetro, metro-adjacent market that lost roughly 200 residents between 2020 and 2024, signaling mild population contraction with no near-term catalyst for reversal. The county supports 997 establishments and 24,958 employees, a modest economic base that is unlikely to drive meaningful fuel volume or convenience sales growth.

Location Quality

The site sits within 0.01 miles of a major road, providing strong vehicular access, but a Walk Score of 30 confirms near-total car dependency with minimal pedestrian or transit demand. Seven restaurants and five retail tenants within one mile provide limited co-tenancy, and the absence of EV charging infrastructure within five miles reflects the area's early-stage transition exposure.

Risk Factors

Environmental liability risk is minimal given FEMA Zone X designation. State-level crime data was unavailable, which limits full underwriting of security risk. One competing gas station within half a mile introduces direct fuel price and volume competition in an already low-density catchment.

Investment Positioning

With 3.2 years of remaining term, a buyer faces near-term rollover risk, and the lease notice date of February 2029 compresses the decision window considerably. Current rent of $145,584 annually represents $56.89 per square foot, but no rent escalation to expiration is provided, meaning the investor carries flat income through term end. The single 2-option renewal structure provides some optionality, but GPM Investments as guarantor, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp. and the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 locations, represents meaningful credit quality that partially offsets the short duration. A buyer is essentially acquiring a credit-tenant income stream with limited term, not a long-duration bond proxy.
