Under the triple-net model, the tenant is responsible for all costs related to operations including taxes, insurance, snow removal, and maintenance.

Dollar General is the nation's largest small-box discount retailer with more than 16,000 stores in 44 states. Dollar General has guaranteed the Rockwell City lease. Heartland will assume this guarantee.

In announcing the acquisition, Heartland Executive Chairman Tim Kopatich said that the property is in excellent condition, is recession and e-commerce resistant, and since it is already occupied by a major national tenant, will be immediately cash-flowing to Heartland. The Rockwell City location represents the second Dollar General in the Heartland property investment portfolio.

As previously reported, Heartland is currently under contract to acquire an O'Reilly Auto Parts property in Estherville, Iowa. The closing on this property is pending completion of additional environmental review.

The company is also evaluating several other properties for potential acquisition in the Midwest including several recession resistant Dollar General stores.
