NRC Announces Sale of Up To 56 Properties in Florida Panhandle, Mostly Gas Stations/C-Stores
Chicago, IL October 5, 2010 - NRC Realty & Capital Advisors, LLC, announced today that it has been retained to coordinate the sale of up to 56 current and former retail petroleum properties located throughout the panhandle of Florida. All sites are fee properties. The majority of the properties are operating gas stations with convenience stores, while there are a few closed gas station/c-stores.
Most of the operating stations are major-branded for gasoline, but all have unbranded convenience stores. Some have on-site carwashes. Gasoline brands include BP, Shell, Exxon, Chevron and Mobil, with some unbranded sites. Sites may be purchased either with or without supply agreements.
Geographically, the sites are located in the Fort Walton Beach/Destin market area, the Pensacola and Panama City markets, in and around Crestview, and some are in smaller communities eastward toward and beyond Tallahassee.
The properties will be sold through a sealed bid sale utilizing NRC's well-known "buy one, some or all" format. Financing is available. The bid deadline is to be determined.

"We expect strategic players will be looking at excellent market concentrations and some larger store formats as well as supply and available financing. Even those not currently operating in these markets may want to look at expansion opportunities."
