If FD vacates, what can you do with the building? Is the land in this area cheap enough that the risk is high for FD to build a new store and not renew the lease with you? What are the other retailers nearby? Are there chances of new competition coming in? Is the area already over served or is Family Dollar filling a need due to excess retail demand?
