This exceptional 106,042 square foot, single-story shopping center in Wooster, Ohio, presents a compelling investment opportunity. Boasting a 7.75% cap rate and 100% occupancy across three tenants, this stabilized property offers significant upside potential.

The property is anchored by Marc's, a regional discount grocery chain with a strong sales history and a lease extending to July 2029, featuring a scheduled rent increase in August 2024.

Situated on a 12.53-acre lot along Portage Road, a high-traffic area, the center enjoys excellent visibility and accessibility. The strong tenant mix, coupled with the significant capital improvements and favorable lease terms, makes this a rare opportunity in a thriving tertiary market with a robust local economy and strong demographics. Wooster serves as the county seat and principal city of the Wooster MSA, boasting a population of 117,000 and a concentration of major retailers and healthcare facilities. The asking price is $8,230,000, representing a price per square foot of $77.61 and a net operating income (NOI) of $637,865.
