Investment Highlights

  • Zero competing fuel stations within a half-mile radius provide a meaningful monopoly position in the immediate vicinity.
  • The lease guarantor, ARKO Corp., operates approximately 3,500 sites across 34 states and carries public company reporting obligations, offering above-average credit transparency.
  • Madison County posted population growth of 3.1 percent from 2020 to 2024 alongside a 3.6 percent unemployment rate, indicating a stable underlying market.

Key Risks

  • With only 0.9 years of remaining term, the asset faces imminent rollover risk that will pressure pricing and require buyers to underwrite re-leasing or vacancy scenarios.
  • Traffic volume of 9,281 AADT is materially below the 15,000 to 20,000 vehicle benchmark preferred for institutionally underwritten fuel sites, constraining store productivity.
  • A poverty rate of approximately 19 to 20 percent across all demographic radii reflects a financially constrained consumer base that limits rent growth potential upon renewal negotiation.

Executive Summary

This Village Pantry convenience store and gas station at 1629 Raible Ave, Anderson, IN carries a Location Grade of STRONG (65/100) within a modest but stable Midwest market. The asset benefits from zero direct fuel competition within a half-mile and a publicly traded guarantor, but near-term lease expiration in May 2027 creates meaningful rollover risk that will dominate buyer underwriting.

Demographics

The immediate trade area supports a population of 8,911 within one mile and 39,340 within three miles, with average household incomes ranging from $62,519 to $65,112 across radii. Poverty rates of approximately 19 to 20 percent across all radii indicate a price-sensitive consumer base with limited upside for rent growth. Median home values of $104,809 within three miles confirm a working-class catchment consistent with convenience retail but not premium fuel margins.

Market Context

Anderson sits within Madison County, which recorded modest population growth of 3.1 percent from 2020 to 2024 and a healthy unemployment rate of 3.6 percent, suggesting labor market stability. The county supports 2,342 total establishments and 34,031 employees, providing a functional but unspectacular commercial base. Daytime employment density within one mile is thin at 569 jobs, limiting commuter-driven fuel and convenience traffic.

Location Quality

Daily traffic of 9,281 vehicles is below the threshold typically favored for high-volume fuel sites, and the day-to-night population ratio of 0.06 reflects limited daytime activity in the immediate vicinity. The site benefits from a Walk Score of 57 and proximity to 11 restaurants and 9 retail destinations within one mile, offering modest co-tenancy. Highway proximity of 0.17 miles provides some pass-through exposure, partially compensating for the lower AADT.

Risk Factors

Flood risk is minimal under FEMA Zone X designation. The absence of state crime data limits a full safety assessment, though no acute red flags were identified in the local context. EV charging infrastructure within five miles remains minimal at two stations, presenting a longer-term demand disruption risk for fuel-dependent convenience formats.

Investment Positioning

With only 0.9 years of remaining term and a renewal notice deadline of September 2026, a buyer is acquiring near-term rollover exposure rather than durable income. Current rent of $102,477 annually provides no contractual escalation visibility through expiration, and rent at expiration is undisclosed, leaving renewal economics unresolved. The single five-year renewal option provides optionality but no certainty. The guarantor, GPM Investments as a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator with roughly 3,500 locations, offers institutional-grade credit backing, which partially offsets the lease risk. Buyers should underwrite renewal probability carefully against local site economics.
