The company behind one of the nation’s leading gas station and convenience store chains has secured a new lease in the Irmo area, taking over a property previously occupied by a Wells Fargo Bank. Murphy Oil Corporation, which operates over 1,700 gas stations and convenience stores across the country, has signed a ground lease for the one-acre property located at 6119 St. Andrews Road in Irmo.
According to a statement from real estate firm Colliers South Carolina, Murphy Oil Corporation is one of the largest independent retailers of gasoline products and convenience store merchandise in the United States. With plans to open 30 to 35 new locations in 2024, the company continues to expand its presence in the market. The leased property in Irmo offers excellent visibility, especially considering its proximity to the popular Harbison shopping district.
The location on St. Andrews Road and Bush River Road is an attractive choice for Murphy Oil Corporation’s growth initiatives due to its high traffic volume. Approximately 17,000 vehicles pass by St. Andrews Road each day, with an additional 10,000 cars traveling along Bush River Road. This makes it an ideal location for a gas station and convenience store chain that aims to serve as many customers as possible.
Murphy Oil Corporation already operates several gas stations throughout the Midlands, with a recent opening near Williams-Brice Stadium along Bluff Road. This new location will further strengthen their position as one of the leading providers of fuel and convenience items in the region.
Colliers South Carolina said that they are thrilled about this transaction as it represents another significant step forward for Murphy Oil Corporation’s growth strategy in South Carolina.
“We are excited to see this deal come together as it represents another significant step forward for Murphy Oil Corporation’s growth strategy in South Carolina,” said Colliers South Carolina broker John Doe.” We look forward to continuing our partnership with them as they expand their presence throughout
