In a surprising real estate development, a 7-Eleven store in Madera, California, has sold for $12.18 million, marking it as the most expensive single-tenant 7-Eleven in California history. Located in a small Central Valley city known more for agriculture than tourism, the store opened in late April and quickly attracted a buyer from the Bay Area. The 4,644-square-foot store is situated on a 4.04-acre lot and comes with a 15-year triple-net lease. Notably, it features a commercial diesel fueling station and EV charging stations, making it a modern prototype for the franchise. Sean Cox of Hanley Investment Group highlighted that this is the first of its kind to sell as a single-tenant asset in California. The development process took four years and included significant infrastructure work, fuel design, and environmental reviews, with Stock Five Development Company based in Clovis handling the sale.
