(305) 518-1545What Does It Take to Lease a Gas Station in Fleming Island?
Leasing a gas station in Fleming Island requires rent, a deposit, initial fuel and c-store inventory, and Florida licensing — not a full acquisition price. Rent is set by the site's gallon throughput and inside sales, so a high-volume US-17 station commands more rent than an infill neighborhood site but produces proportionally more fuel margin and basket revenue.
Fleming Island is a North Florida market of roughly 30,749 residents in Clay County. Lease demand here tracks the same forces that set station value: affluent residential and commuter. Access runs through US-17 and I-295 (via Buckman), and the leasable fuel inventory concentrates on US-17 and County Rd 220.
Because leased stations are rarely advertised publicly, most Fleming Island lease opportunities move through operator networks, jobber relationships, and landlord referrals before they ever reach a listing platform. That is the inventory we work — including convenience stores for lease with and without fuel, and diesel-capable sites where US-17 traffic supports them.

Inside the Fleming Island Trade Area
Fleming Island sits in Clay County with roughly 30,749 residents and functions as a small-market North Florida trade area. Retail transactions cluster on US-17 and County Rd 220, and regional access runs through US-17 and I-295 (via Buckman). That geography, more than countywide averages, determines what a site here earns.
The buyer pool in Fleming Island is a mix of local owner-operators expanding by one or two units, multi-site operators and jobbers placing supply volume, 1031 and net-lease capital pricing Florida yield, and developers valuing the dirt for a different use. Which pool bids highest depends on whether the real estate conveys and on how much of the earnings is documentable.
Every Fleming Island 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.
Resident and Commuter Demand in Fleming Island
Fleming Island demand is resident-driven and therefore steady week to week, with peaks in the morning and evening commute on US-17 and County Rd 220. 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 30,749-resident market faster than any pricing strategy can recover.
Leasing a Fuel Site in Fleming Island
Rent on a Fleming Island station has to clear coverage, not comparables. We build expected fuel gross profit plus inside-sales gross profit for the site on US-17, then test rent, taxes, insurance, and maintenance against it. In a small-market market driven by affluent residential and commuter, a rate that looks market on paper can be unfinanceable in practice.
Confirm environmental responsibility allocation, tank ownership and FDEP registration, maintenance obligations for canopy and dispensers, assignment rights, and option terms. Those five items decide whether a Fleming Island leasehold can later be sold as a business.
Rent Economics
How Is Rent Set on a Fleming Island Gas Station Lease?
Rent on a Fleming Island gas station lease is set from three inputs: monthly fuel gallons, convenience-store inside sales, and the real estate's corner quality on US-17. Landlords test whether rent stays covered by combined fuel and inside-sales gross profit with room left for labor, utilities, and credit-card fees.
We stress-test each Fleming Island opportunity on the numbers that actually move: cents-per-gallon after freight and card fees, inside-sales gross margin by category, minimum gallon commitments in the supply agreement, and who funds equipment repair and tank compliance. A rent that works at current volume can fail if the supply contract caps your margin.
