Property Description
The subject property includes a 10,908sf freestanding, single story, single tenant building located on a prominent, high traffic corner in Wilson, North Carolina. Asset was originally built for Eckerd but was re-branded as a Rite Aid upon their acquisition of Eckerd Corp. Rite Aid is the largest drugstore chain on the East Coast- after it's merger with Walgreens the combined company will be the largest retail pharmacy in the country. The offering is secured by a 20yr net lease requiring minimal landlord maintenance responsibilities encompassing the roof & structure. The lease currently has 4.5 years remaining on the initial fixed term, at the expiration of which the tenant will have four 5-year renewal options each with 5% rental increases. This location benefits from excellent exposure at the corner, tremendous ingress/egress and a drive-thru pharmacy. The asset is being offered with a second Rite Aid location in Cambridge, MD, which is currently sub-leased to Family Dollar. The offerings afford a buyer the rare opportunity to acquire two maintenance free, passive net leased investments, secured by best in class retailers with tremendous intrinsic land value generating above market returns while also providing an appealing inflation hedge & mitigated risk by diversifying over two locations.
