FCPT Resorts to Sale-Leaseback With Burger King Properties' Buyout

Four Corners Property Trust FCPT recently announced the purchase of four Burger King properties through a sale-leaseback for $8.1 million from Ampler Restaurant Group. The move highlights FCPT's expansionary efforts to diversify and improve its portfolio quality through acquisitions. The newly constructed properties are located in the strong retail corridors in Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia. Priced at a 6.8% cap rate on rent as of the closing date, exclusive of transaction costs, the properties are franchise-operated under long-term, triple-net leases, with 19 years of term remaining. This will aid in securing long-term cash flows for the company. FCPT's Past Acquisitions This real estate investment trust (REIT), mainly engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurant and retail properties, has a track record of acquisitions. In the second quarter of 2025, Four Corners expanded its portfolio with total acquisitions worth $84 million at a 6.7% cap rate. Over the last 12 months, as of June 30, 2025, the company has acquired properties aggregating $344 million at attractive pricing. Through the above acquisitions, FCPT has diversified more than half of its portfolio into new restaurant brands, medical retail and auto service, ensuring stable and steady revenue generation. As per Four Corners' July Investor Presentation, its portfolio comprises mainly outparcel properties in high-density retail corridors. Around 76% of its rent features unique benefits compared to a regular net lease. These benefits include high rent coverage properties from companies like Darden DRI and Chili's EAT, along with ground leases, master leases and investment-grade guarantors or operators. However, the company's expansion may face potential headwinds in a still high-interest-rate environment, which could keep its borrowing costs elevated.

Mark Cuban says Trump running for a third term would push him into 2028 race

Former "Shark Tank" investor Mark Cuban declared on Friday he will not run for the presidency unless President Donald Trump tries to run for an unprecedented third term. Since their disastrous defeat in the 2024 election, the Democratic Party has been struggling to find a new leader or ideological party line to rally around. Cuban, formerly a Harris campaign surrogate, is one of many political outsiders who have been mentioned as potential 2028 candidates. But when Ben Smith asked Cuban about a run on the Semafor podcast, the billionaire rejected the idea. "I'm not going to do it," Cuban replied. "I've said the only way I would do it is if Trump tried to run for a third term. Because then that's just changing everything, right? And that's a true threat." While Trump has hinted that his vice president, J.D. Vance, is "probably favored" to be his successor, he has both teased and distanced himself from the idea of a third term. "I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, a record that they say won't be beaten unless I run again," Trump said during an early August interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Asked if he was going to run again, Trump responded, "No, probably not. Probably not." "But other than that, I'm not going to put my family through that, you know?" Cuban said, noting further that his three kids are between the ages of 15 and 21 and he would prefer to avoid the amount of "grief and abuse" that comes with running for president. "When I'm 95 and taking - or 105 and taking my last breaths, right? I don't want to say, 'Well, gee, I ran for president. Maybe won, maybe didn't,'" he said. When asked who he actually favors to run in 2028, Cuban suggested names like Scott Galloway, Jon Stewart and Texas state Rep. James Talarico. "But in terms of traditional politicians that we've seen? Meh," he said, expressing distaste.
