The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Thanks to America's Superior Capitalist system, many of these properties will be repurposed. We aren't losers like in France or Germany.

BUT hopefully a few stay closed.

At that point a small hit to the banks would be great - cumulatively that increases borrowing costs.

Best case: Drugs and crime.

But most of them will be ok. The properties are usually net-leased out with corporate guarantees. I'd think Walgreens AND the property owner both benefit from new tenants, even one that can afford less rent. I gave up on pursuing Walgreens-RightAid-CVS many years ago because my litmus test was "if Bezos can physically deliver it, I'm not depending on rent".

7-11's that have a long operating history in secondary markets: Lovely. Even with the recent Kamala Harris 7-11 store closure announcement, these puppies are good. Many times a nice square building, not single use. Lower price points too.
