MRP Capital Group

From our first Walmart Shadow Center purchase in 2015, to a portfolio of over 100 properties today, we've been a part of where the community dines, shops, and fulfills its daily needs. In this video, you will see the people and communities who make us more excited than ever to add to our portfolio. Now more than ever, our team is focused on continually improving and growing the value of every property in the communities we serve. We love knowing small towns. And we love seeing them thrive. #cre #smalltownamerica #retailrealestate #MRP

Small-town markets are a hidden gem. Small towns in the U.S. represent only 26% of Walmart’s total trade area population, but 52% of all U.S. Walmart sales. Walmart and the properties surrounding it often act as the community hub in rural communities; where customers come from miles around to dine, shop, and fulfill their essential needs. MRP Capital Group is solely focused on investing in these existing, necessity-driven retail centers next door to high-performing Walmarts. And with over 4,460 properties in the U.S. that fit our model, the opportunity for growth is monumental. To learn more about our strategy for investing in this niche asset class, reach out to Jordan Breck, President & Partner, for information.

The retail centers next to Walmart are the modern Main Street of small towns - where America dines, shops, and fulfills its daily needs. National brands partner with MRP to access an entire portfolio of Walmart-anchored properties and ease their entry in small towns across the country. With the sole focus of ensuring your success in these shopping centers, MRP's properties: ?? are vetted for performance.

Some retail investments struggle in economic downturns - ours don’t, and here’s why: Anchor stability: Walmart, the world’s largest grocer, ensures consistent customer traffic, positioning these centers as critical community hubs for essential retail. Tenant mix: Focused on discount, necessity-based retailers, and essential services, these centers outperform in economic uncertainty, offering durable income streams. In down markets, consumers may cut luxury spending, but they’ll always need essentials. That’s where we invest.

Celebrating the Retirement of a Remarkable Leader! Today, we bid a fond farewell to our VP of Property Management, Jenny Mitchell, CPM?, as she steps into the next exciting chapter of her life - retirement! During her 2.5 years with MRP Capital Group, Jenny has been a fundamental leader on our team, bringing expertise, dedication, and mentorship that leave a lasting impact on the organization and the way we manage our properties. Before joining MRP, she built an impressive career with The DESCO Group, Inc., where she dedicated 11 years to managing properties and fostering tenant relationships with the professionalism and positive attitude she’s known for. While we'll miss her insight and leadership, we are thrilled for her as she embarks on this well-deserved new chapter. Jenny, thank you for everything you’ve contributed to MRP, the solid foundation you’ve built during your time here, and the legacy you leave behind. Please join us in wishing Jenny health, happiness, and joy in retirement! ?? ??

True success comes not just from making deals, but from cultivating meaningful relationships. Since our first acquisition, MRP Capital Group has purchased over 115 Walmart Shadow Centers, but that growth didn’t happen overnight. It took time and a focus on developing real relationships with sellers, investors, tenants, and communities alike. Investing in small town retail isn’t just about properties - it’s about people. And we’re proud to have the opportunity to collaborate with local owners to improve the landscape of the communities we're in.

Did you know? There are 1,700 small towns with 4,460 Walmart Shadow Centers that align with MRP Capital Group's investment model. The consolidation of this fragmented asset class is MRP’s exclusive focus. With 80+ properties, we’re the largest owner in this niche, yet our portfolio represents less than 2% of the total market, underscoring the monumental potential for growth. Reach out for opportunities to partner with MRP to scale this asset class to the next level - we’re just scratching the surface of what's possible in this largely untapped market.

As the year is coming to a close, we’re reflecting on the people and partners that have made growth in small towns possible: the Chambers of Commerce that welcome us into their small town communities of business owners, the national brands that trust us to facilitate their expansions into small town markets, and the financing partners that support our pursuit of strengthening small-town communities. 2024 marks MRP's 9th year focused solely on buying and improving Walmart-anchored shopping centers, and none of this would be possible without your support. Thank you from the MRP Capital Group team. You're the reason we're here!
