Anywhere Real Estate Inc - HOUS STOCK NEWS

Coldwell Banker Commercial, an Anywhere (NYSE: HOUS) brand, has released a Trend Report highlighting the significant transformation of convenience stores (C-stores) into food destinations. The report reveals that C-store prepared food sales have increased 12.2% year-over-year, with 56% of consumers now viewing them as alternatives to fast-food chains.

Despite narrow profit margins of 5-7%, C-stores are attracting strong investor interest due to high product turnover and steady consumer visits. Major players like 7-Eleven plan to expand with 500 new stores by 2027, while regional chains such as Wawa, Sheetz, and Buc-ee's are entering new markets.

The sector's investment appeal is strengthened by long-term leases (up to 20 years), low vacancy rates, and strategic locations. C-stores are adapting to changing consumer needs by expanding store formats, returning to urban centers, and exploring non-traditional spaces like college campuses.
