Tenant Description
Sheetz is a chain of convenience stores, many of which also sell gas.
Net lease assets occupied by Sheetz are very sought after C-store investments. Investors are attracted to these since most of the locations are ground leases and because of the stickiness of this tenant. With Sheetz investing a substantial amount upfront to build their store and install equipment, they are very likely to stay in a given location even in option periods. What makes Sheetz unique from other C-stores is their made-to-order food, which provides for significant revenue generation compared to conventional C-stores. In addition to being attractive for these reasons, investors also feel that Sheetz is a well-protected concept in economic downturns.
Bob Sheetz founded Sheetz, Inc. in 1952 when he purchased one of his father's five dairy stores located in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Sheetz is a family owned convenience store chain, a private company that is in business for more than 60 years.
