FCPT Acquires Three Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers Properties

Read MoreHide Full Article

Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT - Free Report) recently announced the purchase of three Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers properties for $9.5 million. The said property is located in a highly trafficked corridor in Georgia. The above acquisition highlights the company’s expansionary and diversification efforts, which will aid future revenue growth.

Priced at a 6.6% cap rate on rent as of the closing date, exclusive of transaction costs, the property is corporate-operated under a long-term, triple-net lease with approximately 19 years of term remaining. This will help secure FCPT's long-term cash flows.

This real estate investment trust (REIT), mainly engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurant and retail properties, has a track record of acquisitions. In April 2025, FCPT acquired the Caribou Coffee property for $1.4 million. The property is located in a highly trafficked corridor in Wisconsin. It is corporate-operated under a long-term, triple-net lease with approximately eight years of term remaining.

In the same month, it acquired Chuy's property, Outback Steakhouse property, automotive service property for $2.9 million, $1.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

The above purchases fall in line with FCPT’s strategy of structuring a portfolio that will withstand varied economic cycles. However, the company’s expansion may face potential headwinds in an elevated interest-rate environment, which could keep its borrowing costs high.

Over the past three months, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have gained 2.1% against the industry's fall of 2.2%.
