by John Nelson
MACCLENNY, FLA. — Marcus & Millichap’s Taylor McMinn Retail Group has negotiated the sale of a newly built gas station and convenience store in Macclenny, about 30 miles west of Jacksonville via I-10.

According to Sytes’ analysis of active tenant requirements as of August 2026, Texas accounts for roughly 12 percent of every active QSR and coffee site requirement in the country right now — more than any other state, with Florida second and California third. That part is old news to most people in this business. What’s not old news: a full quarter of that Texas demand isn’t in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Houston, Austin or San Antonio. It’s within the ring roads, the border corridor and towns that didn’t have a QSR conversation five years ago. Where Demand Actually Lies Here’s the breakdown of active Texas QSR and coffeeshop requirements by market, based on what tenants are posting right now, not closed transactions from eighteen months ago.
