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

Broward County • Broward
Convenience stores for lease in North Lauderdale, 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 North Lauderdale 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.
North Lauderdale lease demand tracks residential density, and the leasable store inventory concentrates on Rock Island Rd, McNab Rd, and Kimberly Blvd with Florida's Turnpike 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.

North Lauderdale sits in Broward County with roughly 44,794 residents and functions as a secondary Broward trade area. Retail transactions cluster on Rock Island Rd and McNab Rd, and regional access runs through Florida's Turnpike. That geography, more than countywide averages, determines what a site here earns.
Because North Lauderdale inventory rarely reaches public marketplaces, most ownership changes here happen operator-to-operator. We surface those under NDA to buyers already qualified on proof of funds and financing, which keeps employees, suppliers, and vendors out of the process until closing.
Every North Lauderdale 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.
North Lauderdale demand is resident-driven and therefore steady week to week, with peaks in the morning and evening commute on Rock Island Rd and McNab Rd. Steady demand supports financing, but it also means growth comes from capture rate and store execution rather than from new traffic.
In resident markets, the competitive question is what could be built nearby. We check zoning, available pads, and permitted competing fuel or wash uses inside the trade area before pricing, because a new build a half mile away resets throughput in a 44,794-resident market faster than any pricing strategy can recover.
Tenants in North Lauderdale 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 Rock Island Rd and McNab Rd, asking rents vary widely for space with nearly identical traffic counts.
Negotiate the items that decide profitability later: exclusive use for beer, wine, and tobacco within the center, signage rights visible from Florida's Turnpike, permitted hours, a landlord work letter for cooler electrical capacity, and assignment rights so the leasehold can be sold as a business.
Rent Economics
Rent on a North Lauderdale 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 Rock Island Rd 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.
