Marketing description

Horvath & Tremblay is pleased to present the exclusive opportunity to purchase a Sonic located at 395 Charlie Smith Sr Highway in St. Mary’s, GA (the “Property”). Sonic signed a long-term, 20-year lease in 2022 that currently has over 16 years of term remaining and is followed by two (2), 5-year options. The lease calls for attractive 7% rent increases every five years throughout the base term and at the beginning of each renewal option.

Sonic is well located along Charlie Smith Sr Highway, a primary commuter corridor connecting downtown St. Marys with surrounding residential neighborhoods and community amenities. The Property offers strong frontage, visibility, and access, and is near a mix of national retailers and local employers that generate steady traffic in the area. It is positioned close to Kings Bay Village Shopping Center at Osborne Road, which anchors St. Mary’s primary retail trade area, and benefits from proximity to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia-Pacific Corporation, and St. Mary’s Middle School.

St. Mary’s is situated on the southern border of Camden County, 30 miles north of Jacksonville, Florida.
