Kingsbarn Purchases TA Express Travel Center in Louisiana
The Newly Constructed Travel Center Includes Two National QSR Brands: Dunkin’ Donuts and Jimmy John’s Sandwiches
Grambling, Louisiana—July 3, 2024 – Kingsbarn Realty Capital (“Company” or “Kingsbarn”) has announced the acquisition of a new TA Express Travel Center in Grambling, Louisiana. The travel center and the quick-serve restaurants will be operated by LV Petroleum d/b/a FuelBros™. FuelBros™ has been the number one franchisee for TA TravelCenters of America over the past three years (2021, 2022, & 2023). The acquired TA Express is located along Interstate 20 (I-20), a major East-West arterial that spans over 1,500 miles from South Carolina to Texas.
“We purchased this property to add to our top-10, Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) program which offers fractional ownership to private investors as a simplified 1031 exchange solution,” stated Jeff Pori, CEO of Kingsbarn. “We acquired this asset without a loan as we intend to offer the DST as a debt-free exchange property.” This TA Express has a new 20-year, triple net lease which includes robust, three percent (3%) annual rental increases throughout the term.
In May 2023, TravelCenters of America Inc. was acquired by BP Products North America Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of BP p.I.c. (British Petroleum) (NYSE: BP), for $1.3 billion. Emma Delaney, executive vice president customers & products, BP, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the TravelCenters of America team to BP and give a turbo-boost to our convenience and mobility business in the US. Combining TA’s sites on US highways with our brilliant retail network off the highway immediately expands our offer and doubles our global convenience gross margin.”
