Investment Highlights

  • The lease guarantor is GPM Investments, a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed ARKO Corp. operating roughly 3,500 sites, providing institutional-grade credit support for the remaining term.
  • The site carries FEMA Zone X designation, eliminating flood risk and associated insurance cost burdens.
  • Daytime employment of 1,352 workers within one mile supports a consistent base of fuel and convenience demand during peak commute hours.

Key Risks

  • Lease expiration in May 2027 with only one one-year renewal option creates acute rollover risk, and the thin location metrics make re-leasing at current rent highly uncertain.
  • Six competing gas stations within one mile represent severe market saturation relative to a daily traffic count of just 4,284 vehicles.
  • The 1979 vintage building at 1,782 square feet may require capital investment to meet modern convenience store standards, compressing net returns for any buyer who must re-tenant the site.

Executive Summary

This net lease convenience store and gas station at 1003 W 3rd St in Rushville, Indiana is occupied by Village Pantry (GPM Investments) with approximately 0.9 years of remaining term and a single one-year renewal option. The site earns an Average location grade of 46 out of 100, reflecting modest traffic counts, limited trade area depth, and meaningful competitive pressure. The investment thesis is almost entirely a credit and rollover story rather than a location story.

Demographics

The immediate one-mile population of 3,577 with average household income of $68,257 and a 16.5% poverty rate signals a thin, lower-middle-income customer base. The three-mile trade area expands only to 6,614 residents at 234 persons per square mile, confirming a rural catchment with limited spending density. Bachelor's degree attainment of 15.5% and a median home value of $122,393 further characterize the surrounding community as a working-class, price-sensitive market.

Market Context

Rush County is a nonmetro, metro-adjacent county with a functionally flat population trend, declining just 10 residents from 2020 to 2024. The local employment base of 3,868 workers across 391 establishments is modest, and the 3.1% unemployment rate reflects stability rather than growth. There is no meaningful demand catalyst on the horizon that would materially strengthen this site's long-term operating fundamentals.

Location Quality

Daily traffic of 4,284 vehicles is below the threshold most institutional buyers require for a convenience gas station site, and six competing stations within one mile create significant share dilution. The Walk Score of 46 confirms full car dependence, though proximity to the nearest major road at 0.0 miles provides some access advantage. Fifteen nearby restaurants within one mile offer modest co-tenancy but do not compensate for the thin traffic base.

Risk Factors

The site is located in FEMA Flood Zone X, representing minimal flood exposure and no environmental concern on that front. No dollar or discount store competition within 0.5 miles reduces one common convenience traffic disruptor. Physical obsolescence is a latent concern given the 1979 construction vintage on a 1,782 square foot building.

Investment Positioning

With only 0.9 years remaining and a notice date of September 3, 2026, a buyer is acquiring near-term rollover risk as the primary underwriting event. Current rent of $43,740 annually provides no disclosed escalation benchmark, and the rent at expiration is unspecified, leaving renewal economics unconfirmed. GPM Investments as guarantor, backed by publicly traded ARKO Corp., the sixth-largest U.S. convenience operator, provides meaningful credit quality, but that credit cannot offset the execution risk of a single short-term renewal option on a below-average location.
