Offered fee simple, this commercial real estate asset features a high-performing 11,475-square-foot retail building situated on a prominent 1.33-acre parcel.
Originally constructed in 1985 and comprehensively renovated in 1996, the building is 100% leased to CVS Health Corporation, the nation’s premier pharmacy operator.

Tenant Overview & Long-Term Site Commitment
CVS Health Corporation (NYSE: CVS) stands as the largest pharmacy operator and healthcare provider in the United States, operating more than 9,000 retail locations nationwide.
-
Proven Historical Performance: CVS has successfully operated at this specific Hemingway address since 1996, establishing a 30-year track record of successful retail operation and strong community presence.
-
Extended Lease Term: The current lease structure extends through November 2032, ensuring over six years of guaranteed baseline operational revenue before entering the extension periods.
-
Hedge Against Inflation: The lease agreement features three (3) five-year renewal options, each incorporating 5% rental increases to provide continuous net operating income (NOI) growth over time.
-
Attractive Below-Market Rent: CVS currently pays an incredibly low rent of approximately $8.28 per square foot. This below-market rate yields a highly favorable occupancy cost ratio for the tenant—significantly enhancing long-term operational stability and mitigating downside risk from a replacement-cost perspective.
Strategic Real Estate Location & Market Dominance
Primary Retail Corridor & Grocery Anchor Adjacency
The property is positioned with prime visibility and access along South Main Street (US Highway 51), the primary commercial artery traversing Hemingway. The site benefits from direct adjacency to a high-traffic, Food Lion-anchored shopping center, creating a synergistic retail ecosystem that drives consistent daily foot traffic directly past the property.
Unmatched Regional Monopoly
This location enjoys an exceptional market position: it is the only corporate CVS or Walgreens pharmacy within a 20-mile radius. This geographic advantage limits direct competitive pressure, ensuring the asset retains a near-monopoly on local prescription fills, essential everyday retail goods, and local drive-thru pharmacy needs.
Regional Economic Hub with Excellent Connectivity
Hemingway acts as an indispensable commercial hub for the surrounding rural communities of Williamsburg and Florence counties. The property benefits from seamless highway connectivity to key regional employment and consumer markets:
-
Florence, SC: Regional industrial and healthcare center.
-
Myrtle Beach, SC: Major coastal tourism and population growth node.
-
Charleston, SC: Top economic, port, and population center in the Southeast.
This regional positioning delivers steady consumer demand, fortifying the long-term intrinsic real estate value and long-term investment appeal of this single-tenant net-lease asset.
