Casey's

The Archbold submarket combines a stable residential base with an outsized employment and daytime population profile that distinguishes the community within Northwest Ohio. Within five miles of the subject, the trade area supports a total daytime population of 17,278, more than double the resident population of 7,513, reflecting the significant concentration of employers drawing workers into Archbold each day. Average household income reaches $93,390 within five miles, while annual consumer spending exceeds $93 million across core retail, food, entertainment, household and service categories. Archbold's economy is anchored by a deep and longstanding manufacturing base led by Sauder Woodworking Co., one of North America's largest producers of ready-to-assemble furniture. Founded in Archbold in 1934, Sauder maintains nearly 4 million square feet of local facilities and approximately 2,000 employees, making the company a significant economic anchor for the community. The broader Sauder family of companies employs approximately 2,400 people and generates more than $600 million in annual sales. The surrounding employment base is further diversified by major industrial operators including Conagra Brands, Bil-Jax/Haulotte, Sanoh America, Frozen Specialties and Napoleon/Lynx. Conagra reinforced its commitment to Archbold with a $40 million expansion of its local manufacturing operation supporting 370 existing positions and 100 additional jobs. Archbold also serves as an education, tourism and commercial destination for the surrounding rural communities. Northwest State Community College maintains its main campus in Archbold and has grown total enrollment nearly 48% since 2020, strengthening the area's institutional and workforce-development presence. Nearby Sauder Village further expands the community's regional draw through its historic village, Heritage Inn, campground, restaurant, retail and year-round events, attracting visitors from throughout Northwest Ohio and the broader Toledo, Fort Wayne and Detroit region. The convergence of a daytime population substantially exceeding the resident base, established manufacturing employment and nearly $100 million in five-mile consumer spending creates a durable demand profile for convenience-oriented retail. Casey's location at 705 S Defiance Street positions the property within Archbold's primary commercial corridor, serving local residents, daily employees and regional traffic and supporting the long-term fundamentals of the ground lease.
