Overview

Getty Realty’s property portfolio consists of 945 properties located in 33 states across the United States and Washington, D.C. We own 877 properties and lease 68 properties from third-party landlords.

Our typical property is used as a convenience store and gasoline station, and is located on between one-half and three quarters of an acre of land in a metropolitan area. Convenience store and gasoline station properties are an integral component of the transportation infrastructure supported by highly inelastic demand for petroleum products, day-to-day consumer goods and convenience foods.

Quality Tenants and Brands

Substantially all of our properties are leased on a triple-net basis primarily to petroleum distributors and, to a lesser extent, individual operators. Generally our tenants supply fuel and either operate our properties directly or sublet our properties to operators who operate their convenience stores, gasoline stations, automotive repair service facilities or other businesses at our properties.

Attractive Industry Fundamentals

Convenience store revenue has shown consistent growth, while the number of units in service has remained largely constant over the last ten years. Convenience stores are expanding their offerings to become part supermarket, restaurant, bank and drug store. Growth in foodservice is more than offsetting declines in tobacco sales and modest decreases in fuel volumes. According to the Future of Fuels Report (2014), the average convenience store with fuel has around 1,100 customer visits per day.
