Absolute NNN Lease Structure: Approximately ±8 years remain on the initial lease term, in addition to two (2), five-year renewal options. The lease is structured on an absolute NNN basis, with the tenant responsible for all maintenance, repairs, and operating expenses, providing stable, passive income.
Attractive Rent Growth: The lease features 7.5% rental increases every five years, with the next escalation scheduled for July 2028. Increases continue throughout the option periods, offering predictable income growth and a built-in hedge against inflation.
Strong Traffic Counts: The property benefits from proximity to Highway 169, which carries traffic counts exceeding 114,000 vehicles per day, and is situated along E 21st Street with approximately 27,000 vehicles per day. This high-visibility location drives sustained consumer demand and long-term revenue stability.
Stable Population Base and Demographics: There are over 540,000 people in a 10-mile radius and the average household income is north of $100,000. Tulsa is the second largest city in Oklahoma and provides investors with strong and consistent demographics.
Proven Franchise Model / Stable Cash Flow: Over 98‑99% of KFC restaurants are franchised, providing steady royalty and lease-type income, limiting the capital required from the parent company for unit operations.
Growth via International and Emerging Markets: Significant expansion in China, Middle East, Africa, and Asia contributes to system sales growth. Strong same-store sales growth in many international markets.
Digital / Same-Store Sales Momentum: Recent earnings show solid same-store sales growth and expansion of digital & delivery channels, increasing recurring revenue streams.
Operational Efficiencies & Real Estate Appeal: Net lease / NNN leasing often used for many KFC franchise locations. Long-term leases, strong brand, and frequent store openings contribute to landlord appeal.
Credit Position & Up-Side in Rating: Although ratings are speculative grade (BB+ / Ba2), Yum! Brands’ size, cash flow from franchises, and consistent performance keep risk relatively managed and point toward possible credit improvements.
