Investment Highlights

  • The lease guarantor is GPM Investments, a subsidiary of ARKO Corp. (Nasdaq: ARKO), the sixth-largest U.S. convenience-store operator with approximately 3,500 locations across 34 states.
  • The site sits 0.01 miles from a major road, providing immediate arterial access with zero EV-charging competition within a five-mile radius.
  • The three-mile population base of 23,118 residents with 69.6 percent owner occupancy suggests a stable, rooted residential consumer base.

Key Risks

  • Daily traffic of only 250 vehicles is far below the 10,000-plus threshold standard for viable gas station and convenience operations, fundamentally undermining store-level economics.
  • Seven competing gas stations within one mile represent extreme site-level competition against a thin demand base, pressuring both fuel margin and in-store sales.
  • At 1.4 years of remaining term with no disclosed renewal rent, the buyer faces near-term lease rollover risk in a county posting negative population growth of 0.9 percent since 2020.

Executive Summary

FasMart Store 2543 at 61 US 23 South, Weber City, Virginia is a 6,748-square-foot convenience store and gas station built in 2000, occupied by GPM Investments under a lease expiring November 2027 with approximately 1.4 years of term remaining. The site scores 48 out of 100 on location quality, reflecting a demographically thin immediate trade area and acute competitive pressure. This is a short-term income play with near-term rollover risk in a secondary Appalachian market.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile ring shows zero recorded population, indicating the site sits outside any meaningful residential node. The three-mile trade area reaches 23,118 residents at a modest density of 818 per square mile, with average household income of $66,479, a poverty rate of 20.9 percent, and median home values of $134,774. These are below-average consumer fundamentals that limit per-store revenue upside and compress long-term occupancy demand.

Market Context

Scott County is a declining rural Virginia market with a population that contracted from 21,586 to 21,388 between 2020 and 2024. The county supports only 247 total business establishments employing 3,768 workers, and the broader economic base is thin. Limited employment density within one mile (354 daytime jobs) and no population center adjacent to the site underscore the absence of organic demand drivers.

Location Quality

Traffic counts of just 250 vehicles per day are critically low for a fuel and convenience format, which typically requires 10,000 or more daily vehicles to sustain viable throughput. Seven competing gas stations exist within one mile, creating severe market fragmentation relative to the site's demand base. Walk Score of 22 and a Bike Score of 6 confirm that this location is entirely auto-dependent with no pedestrian or alternative-transit capture.

Risk Factors

The site carries no FEMA flood risk, residing in Zone X. State-level crime data was unavailable, limiting a complete public safety assessment. No EV charging infrastructure exists within five miles, which reduces near-term transition risk but also signals limited area investment in infrastructure modernization.

Investment Positioning

With only 1.4 years of remaining term and a notice deadline of March 2027, a buyer faces immediate rollover execution risk. Rent at expiration is not disclosed, creating uncertainty about whether GPM will renew, renegotiate at market, or vacate. The guarantor, GPM Investments as a subsidiary of ARKO Corp., provides a publicly traded, SEC-reporting credit backstop across roughly 3,500 locations, which is a meaningful institutional credit anchor. However, that credit quality does not offset the operational fundamentals of a low-traffic site in a contracting market.
