This brand-new 2024 Wawa in Wilson, North Carolina, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a long-term, absolute NNN ground lease backed by Wawa, one of the strongest and fastest-growing convenience store operators in the country. The property is strategically positioned at the signalized hard corner of Ward Boulevard and Nash Street North, offering exceptional visibility, multiple points of ingress and egress, and exposure to approximately 29,000 vehicles per day, supporting long-term traffic flow and site performance.
Wawa’s continued aggressive expansion throughout the Southeast—including Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas, with additional growth planned in Tennessee and Kentucky—highlights the strength of the brand, its real estate strategy, and its long-term commitment to high-performing locations. The surrounding five-mile trade area includes over 54,500 residents with an average household income of $61,400, providing a solid mix of residential and daytime demand. With the nearest Wawa locations nearly six miles away, the site benefits from a protected trade area and limited direct competition.
Wilson continues to experience steady economic and demographic growth, with projected income increases across 2-, 5-, and 10-mile radii over the next five years. Combined with the zero-landlord-responsibility structure of the absolute NNN lease, this offering delivers a turnkey, passive investment in a growing North Carolina market—ideal for 1031 exchange buyers and long-term, income-focused investors.
