"The $10.2 million sale marks the highest price and price per square foot for a convenience store and fuel station in California in the past three years."

STOCKTON, Calif. - Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, a nationally recognized real estate brokerage and advisory firm specializing in retail property sales, announced today the $10.2 million sale of a newly constructed, single-tenant, net-leased ARCO ampm in Stockton, California. The sale marks a record price and price per square foot for a convenience store and fuel station transaction in California over the last three years, according to CoStar.

Hanley Investment Group's Executive Vice President Bill Asher and Executive Vice President and Partner Jeff Lefko represented the seller, Promontory Development Group, a private developer based in the Sacramento metro area. The buyer, a private investor from the San Francisco Bay Area, was represented by Andy Bogardus of Cushman & Wakefield in San Francisco.

"We generated multiple qualified offers from both private and institutional investors," said Asher. "We procured an all-cash 1031 exchange buyer based in the Bay Area who was a repeat buyer of convenience-store and fuel station assets familiar with the ARCO ampm brand and BP corporate net lease structure."

The property, located at 9036 Thornton Road in Stockton, was completed in 2025 and features a 3,400-square-foot building on 1.48 acres. It is a full-service ARCO ampm unit that includes a convenience store, fuel station, car wash and EV charging stations. The offering represented a rare opportunity to acquire a new single-tenant corporate investment backed by a global market-leading tenant.

"The asset is secured by a new 15-year absolute triple-net lease that includes both land and improvements, with minimal landlord responsibilities," noted Asher. "It’s a structure that provides investors with long-term stability and a truly passive income stream."

The lease is guaranteed by BP Products North America, Inc. (NYSE: BP; S&P: A-), a wholly owned subsidiary of BP plc, one of the world's largest oil companies operating in 70 countries and ranked No. 25 on the Fortune Global 500 list for 2024.

"Investors were drawn to the strength of the guarantee from BP Products North America," Asher added. "BP is considered a national credit tenant with investment-grade ratings, and that assurance, combined with the property's multiple revenue streams, made this offering particularly compelling."

Situated along Thornton Road, a major north-south corridor that serves as the northern extension of Pacific Avenue, Stockton's primary retail artery, the site benefits from average daily traffic of approximately 24,000 cars. This visibility and access enhance the appeal of the convenience store, fuel station, car wash and EV charging facilities. Thornton Road, designated as County Route J8, connects Stockton to surrounding communities and is recognized as one of the city's busiest thoroughfares.

The surrounding area is a dense, affluent and high-growth infill location, with a population of 239,000 within a five-mile radius and an average household income of $117,903 within one mile, more than 30% above the citywide average. Stockton is California's 11th largest city with more than 319,000 residents and serves as the county seat for San Joaquin County. The city has nearly 30,000 residential units planned or under construction and is home to A.G. Spanos Park, a master-planned community of more than 3,000 homes with additional phases planned. Stockton is also recognized as one of the nation's top transportation and logistics hubs and is home to multiple colleges, including San Joaquin Delta College (23,500 students), University of the Pacific (6,300 students) and Stanislaus State Stockton (10,500 students).

"This sale reflects the continued investor demand for corporate-backed net lease investments, especially those eligible for bonus depreciation, with strong activity anticipated through the close of 2025 and into 2026," Asher said.
