Vacant Escondido Gas Station Sells for $5.05 Million Following Competitive Marketing Process
Escondido, California, February 20, 2026.
Hoffman Forde announced that a long-vacant gas station property located at 2004 E. Valley Parkway in Escondido, California has been sold for $5,050,000 following a competitive marketing process that generated significant interest from investors and operators throughout Southern California.
The property was marketed by Enduring Real Estate agents Kevan McDougal and Principal Joe Wojdowski, which received more than 31 offers after the site was brought to market in early 2024. The successful purchaser, ASA Danial LLC, submitted the winning bid and was not represented by a broker in the transaction.
Daniel Forde of Hoffman Forde served as attorney-in-fact for the seller and handled the legal aspects of the transaction on behalf of the ownership.
The property consists of a 23,087-square-foot parcel improved with a former gas station and convenience store facility. The site includes an auto repair facility, 16 fuel dispensers, and four 10,000-gallon double-wall underground storage tanks. Due to health issues affecting the prior ownership, the station had not been operational for several years prior to the sale.
The property is located on the busy northeast corner of Valley Parkway and Midway Drive within a retail center anchored by Valley Max Foods and Sterling Medical Associates, which is affiliated with the Veterans Administration Hospital. Valley Parkway experiences traffic counts of approximately 30,000 vehicles per day, making the location a highly visible and active commercial corridor.
ASA Danial LLC is expected to renovate the existing facilities and return the gas station to operational use, with reopening anticipated in approximately six months following completion of improvements.
“This transaction demonstrates the continued demand for well-located service station properties in high-traffic commercial corridors,” said Daniel Forde of Hoffman Forde. “Despite the property being non-operational for several years, the site’s location and existing infrastructure generated strong interest and a highly competitive bidding process.”
The sale represents the repositioning of a long-vacant property that is expected to return to active use and serve the surrounding Escondido community.
