Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Reducing concentration in traditional convenience stores and gasoline-only properties by expanding into alternative automotive retail sectors, including express tunnel car washes, auto service centers, drive-thru quick-service restaurants (QSRs), collision repair centers, and travel centers.
Expected impact: Aims to lower convenience store concentration (which fell to 64% of annual base rent at the end of 2025 from 82% in 2019) and capture higher-margin, e-commerce-resistant service revenues.
Collaborating with tenants to integrate Level 3 DC Fast Charging stations across strategic corner-lot properties to future-proof assets against the long-term energy transition.
Expected impact: Preserves the long-term value and utility of corner-lot real estate as consumer mobility habits shift toward electric vehicles.
