This Marathon/Fas Mart convenience store at 2482 Tittabawassee Rd in Saginaw, Michigan earns an Average location grade of 53/100, reflecting modest but real trade-area demand constrained by a shrinking, high-poverty market. With only 0.6 years of lease term remaining and a single renewal option outstanding, the investment thesis pivots almost entirely on rollover execution and the credit quality of the guarantor rather than location fundamentals.
The 3-mile ring supports 27,348 residents at a modest $74,439 average household income, but a 27.5% poverty rate and median home value of $126,273 signal a cost-sensitive consumer base with limited discretionary spending. Population at the county level has declined 1.1% from 2020 to 2024, and the 5-mile poverty rate of 23.1% reinforces a structurally challenged demand environment.
Saginaw County sits in a smaller metro below 250,000 population with a 6.2% unemployment rate that exceeds most national benchmarks, indicating ongoing labor market stress. The broader retail ecosystem of 754 establishments and 375 food service operators reflects a functional but not dynamic trade area with limited upside rent pressure.
Site-level traffic of 3,514 AADT is low for a gas station and convenience store format that typically benefits from 15,000-plus daily counts. Five competing gas stations within one mile intensify pressure on fuel margin and customer capture, and a Walk Score of 37 confirms full car dependency with no meaningful pedestrian or transit demand.
Minimal FEMA flood exposure in Zone X removes a material physical risk from underwriting. State-level crime data was unavailable for this analysis, which limits full risk stratification. No dollar or discount store competition within 0.5 miles is a modest positive for inside-store traffic, though 19 EV charging stations within 5 miles signals early but growing fuel-demand substitution risk.
The lease expires March 31, 2027, leaving approximately 0.6 years of contractual income at $95,207 annually, creating immediate rollover risk that a buyer must underwrite on day one. Rent at expiration and the renewal rent step are not disclosed, creating pricing uncertainty. One of two renewal options remains, with a notice deadline of September 2, 2026, meaning a buyer closing today must act on that option almost immediately. GPM Investments, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. c-store operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides institutional-grade credit backing, which partially offsets the short duration risk. The combination of near-term rollover and an above-replacement-cost rent of $30.21 per square foot for a 1980-vintage building warrants a meaningful risk premium in pricing.
