CHICAGO — In an era wherein investors are generally bearish on the performance of retail properties, single-tenant, small-footprint assets leased to convenience stores may be an exception to the rule, according to a recent report from Chicago-based Quantum Real Estate Advisors Inc. The average capitalization rates for convenience stores flying under two brands — 7-Eleven and Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns Circle K and Kangaroo Express — decreased from 2016 to 2017, according to the report. Despite the cap rate compression, though, investor interest in single-tenant retail properties leased to either of these firms is on the rise. The report found that the average cap rate for 7-Eleven stores decreased by six basis points between 2016 and 2017, while Couche-Tard stores experienced an average cap rate compression of 74 basis points during that stretch. Average cap rates for these 7-Eleven and Couche-Tard stores, which typically operate on 10- to 20-year leases, now stand at 5.1 and 6.1 percent, respectively.

As such, investor demand for these …
