Sheetz-Occupied Retail Asset in Gahanna, Ohio Trades for $3.4 Million in CBRE-Brokered Deal

A convenience-store-anchored retail property in Gahanna, Ohio, occupied by Sheetz, has changed hands for $3.4 million, according to a release covered by REBusinessOnline. Brokerage services for the transaction were provided by CBRE Group, one of the largest commercial real estate services firms operating across the United States, the United Kingdom, and international markets.

Single-tenant retail properties backed by national fuel and convenience operators like Sheetz have remained a steady segment of the net-lease investment market, often drawing interest from private buyers seeking long-duration income. While the release did not disclose the parties to the transaction, the sale adds to a pipeline of Ohio retail deal flow brokered through major advisory platforms.

CBRE, headquartered in Dallas, delivers services through several business segments, including Advisory Services, Building Operations and Experience, Project Management, and Real Estate Investments. Investment sales brokerage of the kind used in this transaction falls under its advisory business, which handles leasing, capital markets, and property sales for institutional and private clients.

In trading on Wednesday, CBRE shares closed at $147.27, down 0.99% from the prior close of $148.74, giving the company a market capitalization of approximately $43.7 billion. The stock trades in the real estate sector within the real estate services industry.

Gahanna, a suburb of Columbus, has seen continued retail activity as central Ohio’s population growth supports demand for convenience-oriented commercial real estate. Fuel-anchored sites in the region have historically traded at relatively tight capitalization rates compared with other single-tenant retail formats, reflecting the resilience of the convenience store category.

Details such as the buyer, seller, and per-square-foot pricing were not included in the release. Transactions of this size typically close with private investors or exchange buyers rather than institutional funds, which more frequently pursue larger portfolio acquisitions.

What to watch

• CBRE’s upcoming quarterly earnings report, which will detail advisory segment revenue and investment sales volumes.
• Additional single-tenant retail transaction announcements in the Columbus metro area.
• Any disclosure of comparable Sheetz-occupied asset sales in the Midwest that could establish pricing benchmarks.
