For real estate investors who want to escape Amazon’s reach, convenience stores represent a nice option.

“Many investors of single tenant retail properties are drawn to C-store properties due to the overall performance of the gas sector, being naturally ‘Amazon-proof’ as well as the financial strength backing the leases of these convenience store brands,” says William Wamble, first vice-president in SRS Real Estate Partners’ National Net Lease Group. “Typically located on or near major intersections in areas with high traffic counts, these investments provide excellent long-term viability in the underlying real estate.”
