Turnkey Operating Leases
West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach, 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 West Palm Beach 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.
West Palm Beach lease demand tracks downtown employment, convention traffic, and port, and the leasable store inventory concentrates on Okeechobee Blvd, Federal Hwy, and Southern Blvd 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.

West Palm Beach sits in Palm Beach County with roughly 117,415 residents and functions as a secondary Palm Beach trade area. Retail transactions cluster on Okeechobee Blvd and Federal Hwy, and regional access runs through I-95, Florida's Turnpike, and US-1. That geography, more than countywide averages, determines what a site here earns.
Because West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach 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.
Logistics traffic makes West Palm Beach a diesel market as much as a gasoline market. Where a site sits relative to I-95 and to truck-permitted turning movements on Okeechobee Blvd determines whether it can capture commercial volume at all — a site with tight access is a passenger-car store regardless of how much freight passes it.
Commercial accounts, fleet cards, and cost-plus supply arrangements price differently than retail gallons, so we separate them before applying any multiple. Concentration matters too: volume dependent on one carrier or one distribution center is worth less than the same gallons drawn from broad I-95 flow.
Tenants in West Palm Beach 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 Okeechobee Blvd and Federal Hwy, 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 I-95, 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 West Palm Beach 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 Okeechobee Blvd 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.
