At Open Road Capital Partners, we believe in the power of progress—one service station and convenience store at a time. We are an investment firm dedicated to acquiring, preserving, and building long term appreciation through the acquisition of service centers and convenience stores across the nation, turning everyday fuel stops into hubs of innovation and growth.
Our mission is simple: to invest in America’s service infrastructure, ensuring that every service station we acquire is optimized for long-term success. We focus on revitalizing these essential community assets with a commitment to operational excellence, sustainability, and lasting value.
Creating Opportunities
Strategic Acquisitions: We identify high-potential service centers in key markets, evaluating each through a multifaceted lens, leveraging market insights and rigorous due diligence to build a diverse and resilient portfolio to thrive in a dynamic economic landscape.
Preservation and Enhancement:
We believe that preserving these service centers is critical. Our team acquires properties on long-term triple-net leases, pursuant to which best-in-class operators implement upgrades and improvements, ensuring each location meets today’s standards while retaining its unique character.
Appreciation Through Innovation:
We acquire for the long haul. With a forward-thinking approach, we construct portfolios of service stations to benefit from long-term asset appreciation.
Rooted in deep industry expertise, our approach combines rigorous financial discipline with an eye for operational excellence. We work closely with local stakeholders and industry experts to unlock hidden potential and create lasting value.
Service centers are more than fuel stops—they are integral parts of local economies and everyday life. As transportation and retail trends evolve, these centers stand as critical waypoints for travelers, families, and communities. Our tailored investment approach captures this value, making each station a cornerstone of economic opportunity and progress.
