Once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity in the heart of Riverton, WV. Formerly known as the Old River Mart, this closed gas station sits on approximately 2.7 acres in a highly traveled tourism corridor surrounded by some of Pendleton County’s most popular destinations. Located near the river, close to fish stocking areas, and just minutes from Seneca Caverns and the scenic Germany Valley, this property benefits from consistent local and tourist traffic year-round. This site was previously one of the only locations in the area offering 24-hour fuel access, making it a well-known stop for locals, travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Although the business closed in March 2025, the foundation for a strong operation remains in place for the right investor willing to update, improve, and bring it back to life. The store currently contains a large amount of non-expired inventory, including hardware, tools, and fishing equipment, which may convey with the sale or be negotiated separately. All expired food products have been removed. With fuel service reinstated and the store refreshed, this property offers multiple possibilities — from a reopened convenience store and gas station to a tourism-focused retail stop serving anglers, campers, and travelers. This is an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator or investor looking to revive an established location in a proven area. With vision and effort, this property has the potential to become a thriving business once again. Properties like this — with acreage, location, and name recognition — rarely come available.
