Turnkey Operating Leases
Boca Raton stores leased with equipment, coolers, and POS in place — the fastest route from signature to operating income.

Palm Beach County • Palm Beach
Convenience stores for lease in Boca Raton, Florida are offered as turnkey operating leases, shell retail leases, and c-store-with-fuel dealer leases. Rent is underwritten against inside-sales gross profit rather than square footage, and permits, equipment ownership, and any fuel supply agreement are negotiated alongside the lease. Led by Bobby Berrido, CCIM, CMAA. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.

(305) 518-1545Leasing a Boca Raton convenience store puts an operator into inside-sales income without buying the real estate. The three structures we broker are a turnkey operating lease including equipment and coolers, a shell lease where the tenant builds out, and a c-store-plus-fuel dealer lease with a supply agreement attached.
Boca Raton lease demand tracks corporate campuses, FAU traffic, and affluent residential, and the leasable store inventory concentrates on Federal Hwy, Glades Rd, and Yamato Rd with I-95 access.
Rent coverage is the whole underwriting. If rent plus labor, utilities, and card fees consumes the store's gross profit, the lease fails no matter how attractive the location looks.

What We Broker
Boca Raton stores leased with equipment, coolers, and POS in place — the fastest route from signature to operating income.

Own a Boca Raton store property? We screen tenant experience, capital, and supply relationships before delivering a signed lease.
Compare leasing against acquiring the same Boca Raton inventory, including how each path treats UST liability and equity build.
Tobacco, beer and wine, lottery, and food-service permitting sequenced so the store opens with every revenue line live.
Academic-calendar demand shapes Boca Raton performance: nine strong months, a soft summer, and sharp swings around move-in and breaks. Underwriting a full-year average without seeing the monthly curve is how buyers overpay here.
Student trade areas over-index on beverage, snack, and food-service categories and under-index on tobacco and fuel-only visits, so inside-sales gross profit often carries more of the value than gallons on Federal Hwy suggest. Late-night hours, labor cost, and shrink control are the operating variables that separate a strong Boca Raton store from an average one.
Tenants in Boca Raton should price a lease from coverage, not from rate. Build the store's expected inside-sales gross profit first, then test rent, CAM, insurance, and taxes against it. On Federal Hwy and Glades Rd, asking rents vary widely for space with nearly identical traffic counts.
The clauses that matter in a Boca Raton convenience store lease are exclusive use, assignment and subletting, personal guarantee scope, holdover rent, and who owns the coolers and shelving at expiration. Landlord-owned equipment quietly reduces what the leasehold is worth on resale.
Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County with roughly 97,422 residents and functions as a secondary Palm Beach trade area. Retail transactions cluster on Federal Hwy and Glades Rd, and regional access runs through I-95 and Florida's Turnpike. That geography, more than countywide averages, determines what a site here earns.
Pricing in Boca Raton is decided by who is bidding. Operators pay for throughput and store profit, jobbers pay for future gallons through their rack, net-lease and 1031 buyers pay for durable rent, and developers pay for the land. Running a targeted process against all four is how a seller finds the top of the range instead of the first number offered.
Every Boca Raton engagement stays confidential — blind teaser first, NDA-gated package second, and no public listing unless the owner asks for one. All transactions are brokered through Fausto Commercial.
Rent Economics
Rent on a Boca Raton c-store lease is set from inside-sales gross profit, not from a per-square-foot market rate. Landlords and operators both test whether the store's departmental margin covers rent with room left for payroll, utilities, insurance, and credit-card processing.
Ask who owns the coolers, the POS, the walk-in, and the signage. Equipment ownership decides who funds a compressor failure at 2 a.m., and it is the most common gap in a Federal Hwy store lease.
Also negotiate assignment rights up front. An operator who cannot assign the lease has no exit, which caps the value of everything they build over the term.
