Investment Highlights

  • Corporate lease guaranty from ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience-store operator with roughly 3,500 locations, provides investment-grade credit backing.
  • Delaware County unemployment sits at 3.9%, reflecting a stable local labor market supporting baseline consumer spending.
  • The site carries a FEMA Zone X designation, eliminating flood risk from the physical asset underwriting.

Key Risks

  • The location grade of 36 out of 100 is materially weak, supported by a 3-mile population of only 5,053 and a daily traffic count of just 8,366 vehicles.
  • Lease expiration in May 2029 with only one one-year renewal option creates acute rollover risk in a market with five competing gas stations within one mile.
  • Population is entirely static between the 3-mile and 5-mile rings at 5,053, confirming no demographic growth runway to support rent recovery or re-tenanting upside.

Executive Summary

641 W Walnut St, Albany, IN is a 4,740 SF Village Pantry convenience store and gas station operated by GPM Investments under the Fas Mart banner, scoring a weak 36 out of 100 on location grade. With 2.9 years of remaining lease term and a single one-year renewal option, this asset presents near-term rollover risk in a thin, low-density rural Indiana market.

Demographics

The trade area is materially undersized, with a 3-mile population of only 5,053 at a density of 179 persons per square mile, and the 1-mile ring registers zero population in the dataset, indicating an industrial or edge-of-town siting. Average household income of $75,003 is modest, median home values of $120,400 are low, and the 3-to-5 mile population is flat, confirming no growth absorption from the surrounding area.

Market Context

Albany sits within Delaware County, a sub-250K metro with modest but stable fundamentals — 1.1% population growth from 2020 to 2024 and a 3.9% unemployment rate. The convenience retail environment is competitive, with five gas stations within one mile of the subject, creating meaningful volume pressure on a site already generating only 8,366 vehicles per day in traffic.

Location Quality

The site is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 35, limited by sparse surrounding density and only 456 daytime workers within one mile. Proximity to the nearest major road registers at zero miles, which is favorable for access, but the low-traffic count and two direct competitors within a half mile constrain the site's capture potential.

Risk Factors

The property sits in FEMA Flood Zone X, indicating minimal flood hazard. No EV charging infrastructure exists within five miles, which is a neutral factor today but a long-term demand consideration as vehicle electrification accelerates. State-level crime data was unavailable for direct scoring.

Investment Positioning

The lease expires May 31, 2029, leaving 2.9 years of term with one one-year renewal option requiring notice by September 3, 2028, creating a hard re-leasing decision inside a 24-month window from acquisition. Current rent of $154,416 annually ($32.58 per SF) provides no rent escalation visibility to expiration, and no rent-at-expiration figure is disclosed, limiting underwriting clarity. The guarantor is GPM Investments, a subsidiary of ARKO Corp., a Nasdaq-listed operator of approximately 3,500 sites across 34 states, providing institutional-grade credit support. However, guarantor strength does not offset the fundamental re-leasing risk in a low-population, highly competitive rural location.
