Investment Highlights

  • GPM Investments, backed by Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp. operating roughly 3,500 sites, represents verifiable institutional-grade tenant credit.
  • The site carries a FEMA Zone X designation, eliminating flood insurance cost and environmental exposure on that dimension.
  • Fourteen nearby restaurants within one mile provide modest supplementary traffic that benefits convenience retail sales.

Key Risks

  • The lease expired February 28, 2026, and the property is in holdover, exposing any buyer to immediate vacancy risk with no contractual income certainty.
  • Seven competing gas stations within one mile vastly exceed demand for a trade area of only 4,064 residents within 5 miles, pressuring fuel volume and tenant retention.
  • County population has declined 3.4 percent since 2020, unemployment stands at 6.1 percent, and average household income is $46,473 with a 26.1 percent poverty rate, offering no demographic tailwind for site performance improvement.

Executive Summary

This net lease convenience store and gas station in Kingstree, South Carolina is a weak-performing asset by most measurable criteria. The lease has already expired and the property is operating in holdover, creating immediate rollover risk for any buyer. Thin demographics, heavy local competition, and a declining county population compound the execution challenge.

Demographics

The 5-mile trade area supports only 4,064 residents at a density of 52 persons per square mile, with average household income of $46,473 and a poverty rate of 26.1 percent. No meaningful population data exists within 1 or 3 miles, indicating extremely sparse immediate surroundings. These are among the weakest demographic inputs observable in a net lease gas station underwriting.

Market Context

Williamsburg County is a nonmetro, metro-adjacent market with 29,865 residents in 2024, down 3.4 percent from 2020, and an unemployment rate of 6.1 percent. The local employment base of 6,547 workers across 473 establishments reflects a thin and stagnant economy. Retail demand drivers are limited, with no discount or dollar store anchors within half a mile and only 26 food service establishments countywide.

Location Quality

Traffic exposure is modest at 5,000 vehicles per day despite proximity of 0.01 miles to the nearest major road. The Walk Score of 32 confirms a car-dependent environment with no meaningful pedestrian demand. With 7 competing gas stations within one mile, this site operates in a saturated local fuel market relative to its trade area population.

Risk Factors

Environmental exposure is contained, as the site sits in FEMA Flood Zone X, indicating minimal flood hazard. The 1,879-square-foot building dates to 1975 and likely carries deferred capital requirements. No EV charging infrastructure exists within 5 miles, leaving the site exposed to longer-term fuel demand transition risk with no current mitigation.

Investment Positioning

The lease expired February 28, 2026, meaning the property is in holdover, and the renewal notice deadline passed August 2, 2025. A buyer acquires near-zero lease duration with no certainty of continuation. Current rent of $72,598 annually provides no contractual income stability, and rent at expiration is undisclosed, making mark-to-market analysis speculative. GPM Investments, LLC, as a subsidiary of publicly traded ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator, provides credible institutional credit quality. However, that credit is of limited comfort when the lease term has lapsed and renewal is unconfirmed.
