Four Corners Property Trust FCPT recently announced the acquisition of an Olive Garden property for $4.1 million. This acquisition highlights the company’s expansionary and diversification efforts, which will aid future revenue growth.
The property is located in strong retail corridors in North Carolina. The property, under a long-term triple net lease, is corporate-operated. The transaction was priced at a cap rate that was in line with prior FCPT transactions.
FCPT: In a Snapshot
This real estate investment trust (REIT), mainly engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurant and retail properties, has a track record of acquisitions.
Last week, FCPT announced the acquisition of the Tires Plus property for $1.7 million and an automotive service property for $5.8 million. In the last week of May 2025, the company acquired the Christian Brothers Automotive property through a sale-leaseback for $4.3 million. For the same period, it also acquired an automotive service property for $5.3 million.
The above purchases fall in line with FCPT’s strategy of structuring a portfolio that will withstand varied economic cycles. However, the company’s expansion may face potential headwinds in an elevated interest-rate environment, which could keep its borrowing costs high.
