@jonathanmaze pricing aside, the strategic move by 7B will gain exposure in AZ and NV while rapidly expanding their footprint in already proven markets in OKC & TX.
Not to mention controlling locations that DB won't.
So, 7 Brew won the bidding "war" over Dutch Bros for shuttered Salad and Go sites. But it wasn't quite the auction expected as Dutch opted not to increase its previous, $105 million offer for up to 65 locations.
So 7 Brew is paying $143.2 million for 73 sites. That's less than $2 million per leased location, on average.
But ... 49 of the sites cost $124.78 million, or about $2.5 million per location.
Another 24 sites are going for $18.4 million, or $767k/location.
These are leased locations, so there is a cost to remodel, but franchisees will likely pay for it. Probably a good decision to remain disciplined by Dutch Bros, because no matter how you slice it this is a really costly site acquisition.
You wonder how much this type of battle is playing out all over the place, because we usually don't get this kind of visibility. But the drive-thru beverage battle is not cheap.

@JesseKellyDC Had a conversation with my daughter the other night about how communists want to create more societal problems that foster instability and chaos so that they can provide “solutions”.
The light bulb went off.
She’s becoming an anti-communist.
@WhiteHouse cool edit.
now get back to deporting foreigners, jailing fraudsters, lowering my taxes, deregulating everything, eliminating bureaucracies (like the dept of education), lowering fuel prices, increasing US manufacturing, and cutting spending.
Rising Treasuries + Japan Market Pressures: What does it mean for STNL CAP Rates?
The 10-year treasury is approaching 5%, while the 30-year treasury just hit levels not seen since 2007 (around 5.2%).
Warsh is holding rates steady due to inflation risks.
Layer on the Japan situation, which adds further upward pressure on US yields and is likely going to get much worse.
So what do these latest market events mean for single tenant net-leased property values?
My take…
Long-term single-tenant assets behave like fixed-income instruments. Investors price them heavily off the risk-free rate (10-year Treasury) plus a risk premium for credit, lease term, location, and residual real estate risk.
• Higher Treasury yields raise the opportunity cost of capital. Investors demand higher returns (i.e., higher cap rates) to compensate.
• Spreads that were already historically tight leave less room to absorb the move without cap-rate expansion.
• Result: More upward pressure on CAP rates is likely in the near term for many STNL deals, which translates to declining property values (or wider bid-ask spreads) unless offset by uniquely high NOI growth, longer remaining lease terms (18+ years), and/or superior credit/location quality.
We’ve already seen bifurcation in the net-leased market: trophy/credit assets with strong real estate fundamentals have held up better, while more commodity or pure-credit plays have faced greater pricing pressure.
Bottom line for investors and owners:
Monitor the 10-year closely. Sustained yields in the high-4% to 5% range raise the floor under STNL cap rates. Underwriting needs to stress higher exit caps and tighter leverage. Quality still wins—focus on irreplaceable locations, long-term credit tenants, and properties with genuine real-estate upside rather than pure bond substitutes.
@TomCottonAR Unfortunately, admitting they were wrong is the first step to blowing up their entire world view.
The vast majority will not. They will double-down.
