Getty Realty Corp. is a publicly traded net lease real estate investment trust that acquires, finances, and develops single-tenant retail properties focused on convenience stores, automotive service centers, car washes, and quick-service restaurants, typically located in high-traffic metropolitan areas across multiple states. The company generates revenue by leasing its portfolio of properties to national and regional retail operators under triple-net lease agreements, where tenants bear operating expenses, with lease terms typically ranging from 15 to 20 years with renewal options. Operating as a REIT that distributes at least 90% of taxable income to shareholders annually, Getty Realty builds its portfolio based on the assumption that automobility will remain central to U.S. consumer behavior and that demand for convenient, fast automotive and retail services will continue to grow.
