Calkain’s Andrew Fallon, Associate, facilitated the transaction, providing exclusive representation to the Buyer. Pharmacies have long been a desired segment of the net lease market, but Rite Aid properties have been scrutinized given the company’s operating performance. Fallon worked closely with the buyer and indicated that, “the investor did extensive due diligence on this Rite Aid location, ensuring that the store was busy, had excellent sales, and was on a strong corner.” The property is located at a signalized corner across the street from a Walgreens, one of Rite Aid’s main competitors. Fallon continues, “Within the net lease market, Rite Aid’s are offering an inflated return to investors based on the perceived credit risk associated with the tenant.” Even with the perceived risk, the purchaser was able to secure competitive financing for the acquisition.

Rite Aid operates approximately 4,700 pharmacies in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Rite Aid is the largest drug¬store chain on the East Coast and the third largest drugstore chain in the county.
