Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 8-K Filed February 12, 2025 File No. 001-13777 Dear Mr. Demarest and Mr. Esquivel: This letter is submitted on behalf of Getty Realty Corp. (the “Company,”) in response to the comment letter dated March 4, 2025, from the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Brian Dickman, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company. For your convenience, we have set forth the Staff’s original comment in italics immediately preceding our response thereto. Form 8-K filed February 12, 2025 Exhibit 99.1, page 5 1. We note that you disclose full year 2025 guidance for the non-GAAP measure, AFFO per diluted share, without providing a reconciliation to the most directly related GAAP measure. In future filings, please include such reconciliation or, alternatively, provide a statement that the information could not be presented without unreasonable efforts under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Refer also to Questions 102.10(a) and 102.10(b) of the C&DIs for Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment. In accordance with Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K and Questions 102.10(a) and 102.10(b) of the C&DIs for Non-GAAP Financial Measures, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that providing the reconciliation between the non-GAAP measure (AFFO per diluted share) and the most directly related GAAP measure at this time would require unreasonable efforts due to the forward-looking nature of the adjustments necessary to calculate the non-GAAP measure, which rely on assumptions and estimates that are subject to significant change throughout the year, and will include this statement in future filings when we are unable to provide the required reconciliation without unreasonable efforts. The Company and its management acknowledge they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the Staff. We appreciate your understanding and remain committed to complying with all applicable SEC regulations. Should you have any further questions or require additional clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (646) 349-0452 or via email at bdickman@gettyrealty.com.

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 Filed March 2, 2017 File No. 001-13777 Dear Ms. Marrone: This letter is submitted on behalf of Getty Realty Corp. (the “Company”) in response to the comment letter dated August 15, 2017, from the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Danion Fielding, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company. For your convenience, we have set forth each of the Staff’s original comments in italics immediately preceding our responses. Note 10 – Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale, page 63 1. We note that your discontinued operations consist of properties that have been classified as held for sale since June 30, 2014. Please tell us what consideration you gave to ASC 205-20-45-1 when determining that these assets should still be classified as held for sale, given the extended length of time that they have been classified as such. In your response, include an assessment of the probability that a sale will be consummated. Response: ASC 360-10-45-11 provides the guidance for circumstances where an asset can be held for sale beyond the one-year guidance of ASC 360-10-45-9: 360-10-45-11 Events or circumstances beyond an entity’s control may extend the period required to complete the sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) beyond one year. An exception to the one-year requirement in paragraph 360-10-45-9(d) shall apply in the following situations in which such events or circumstances arise: c. If during the initial one-year period, circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, a long-lived asset (disposal group) previously classified as held for sale is not sold by the end of that period and all of the following conditions are met: 1. During the initial one-year period the entity initiated actions necessary to respond to the change in circumstances. 2. The asset (group) is being actively marketed at a price that is reasonable given the change in circumstances. 3. The criteria in paragraph 360-10-45-9 are met. (See Example 11 [paragraph 360-10-55-48], which illustrates that situation.) The circumstances outlined in paragraph 360-10-45-11(c) were used to form the Company’s conclusion that an exemption to the one-year period was warranted based on circumstances known at the time. A delay in the period required to complete a sale shall not preclude a long-lived asset (disposal group) from being classified as held for sale if the delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control and the Company continued to be committed to sell the asset (group). The properties were available for sale in their present condition. The Company was actively looking for buyers at a price that was reasonable and the plan was not expected to change. Over time contracts for sale were entered into and, as closings under these contracts occurred, the properties were sold. The period required to complete individual sales was lengthy due to the condition of the sites, including, inter alia, environmental considerations associated with their operation either as a gasoline station or as an oil terminal. Based on the pace of sales and expressions of interests in the properties, the Company concluded that it was probable that the remaining properties would be sold and continued to classify them as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-11. As of December 31, 2016, there were only two properties, a former oil terminal and an adjacent gasoline station, marketed as a single property, remaining in the group of properties classified as held for sale. This property had been actively marketed to several interested parties, an expression of interest had been accepted and the proposed purchaser was performing its due diligence in anticipation of acquiring the property. The Company concluded that it was probable that this last property would be sold and continued to classify it as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-11. However, during the second quarter of 2017, the purchaser withdrew its offer. Given that the property had been actively marketed, had been subject to offering price reductions, and there were no other offers, the Company concluded that market conditions indicated a sale was not imminent. As a result, the Company concluded that there had been a change in circumstances and, as the property no longer met the criteria to be held for sale reclassified the remaining property from held for sale to held and used. As of June 30, 2017, there were no properties that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and the Company disclosed such new facts on its Form 10-Q for quarter ended June 30, 2017. Item 9B. Other Information, page 68 2. We note that you have provided summarized financial information for CF United LLC in a form consistent with Rule 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X. This information may be unaudited. However, you have labeled the data as audited and referred to a third-party accounting firm.

For your convenience, we have set forth each of the Staff’s original comments in italics immediately preceding our responses. Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Page 2 Registration Statement on Form S-3 General 1. As you know, we are reviewing your Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and have issued comments in connection with that review. Please confirm that you will amend the registration statement, as appropriate, to reflect your responses to our comments on the Form 10-K. In addition, please note that we will not be in a position to declare the registration statement effective until you have resolved all comments raised on the Form 10-K. Response: We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and have responded below to the Staff’s comments to the Form 10-K. Based on the Staff’s comments to the Form 10-K and the Company’s responses to those comments, the Company does not believe that any amendments to the Form S-3 are necessary. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013 Item 1. Business, page 5 Company Operations, page 5 1. We note that the majority of your leases are triple-net leases. In future Exchange Act periodic reports, please provide disclosure regarding how you monitor the credit quality of your tenants. Response: In our future Annual Reports on Form 10-K, we will describe how we monitor the credit quality of our tenants by including disclosure substantially similar to the following: “During the term of each lease, we monitor the credit quality of our tenants by (1) reviewing the credit rating of tenants, if and to the extent assigned by credit rating agencies, (2) reviewing financial statements of our tenants that are publicly available or that are delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, (3) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, and (4) monitoring the timeliness of lease payments and the performance of other financial covenants under the lease.” Item 7.

In future Exchange Act periodic reports, please provide disclosure that addresses period to period changes in same store performance, addressing the relative impact of occupancy and rental rate changes. Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Page 3 Response: We respectfully direct your attention to Part I, Item 2. Properties in the Form 10-K, in which we disclose rental unit expirations and the annualized contractual rent of our tenants. Given the long term unitary net lease structure for approximately 88% of our properties and the overall consistent performance of our leases, we respectfully advise the Staff that property level occupancy and rental rate changes have been immaterial to our financial performance. However, we will continue to monitor these factors and make the appropriate disclosures if they become material in the future.

Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Getty Realty Corp. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 File No. 001-13777 Dear Ms. Marrone: This letter is submitted on behalf of Getty Realty Corp. (the “Company”) in response to the comment letter dated August 22, 2012 from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to Thomas J. Stirnweis, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. For your convenience, each comment has been reproduced in italics below, together with the Company’s response thereto. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition ….page 33 1. In future Exchange Act reports, please revise your disclosure to discuss your leasing activities for the reported period, including a discussion of the volume of new or renewed leases, average rents or yields, and, where applicable, average tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions, and tenant concessions. Also, discuss the average market rents trends, including the impact of tenant reimbursements. Response: Historically, our business model is to lease our properties on a long-term triple-net basis primarily to petroleum distributors under unitary leases covering multiple locations, and to a lesser extent, to individual operators under individual leases covering single locations. Our tenants operate our properties directly or sublet our properties to operators who operate their gas stations, convenience stores, automotive repair service Kristi Marrone, Staff Accountant Division of Corporation Finance Securities and Exchange Commission Page 2 facilities or other businesses at our properties. These tenants are responsible for the operations conducted at these properties. Our tenants are generally responsible for the payment of all taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance and other operating expenses relating to our properties. We generally do not enter into multi-tenant, gross lease structures. Until recently (and other than the renewal of leases to individual operators for single locations), our leasing activity primarily coincided with the acquisition of properties, at which time we would enter into a long-term triple-net unitary lease with a tenant of the acquired properties. Our existing triple net-leases have expirations ranging from 7 to 19 years. As disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, we previously leased approximately 775 properties to Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. (“Marketing”) comprising a unitary premises pursuant to a master lease (the “Master Lease”) and we derived a majority of our revenues from the leasing of these properties under the Master Lease. As a result of Marketing’s bankruptcy filing and in anticipation of Marketing’s rejection of the Master Lease, we had commenced a process to enable a repositioning of the portfolio of properties that were subject to the Master Lease to be effective as soon as possible after the properties became available to us free of Marketing’s tenancy (the “Repositioning Process”). Substantially all of these properties became available to us free of Marketing’s tenancy in May 2012. In the past, our lease terms did not provide for any material tenant improvement costs or tenant concessions, as would be commonplace in a multi-tenant office or retail facility and we did not incur lease commissions. However, as the Company goes through the Repositioning Process, we will pay some leasing commissions and some of our leases will have provisions relating to our tenant improvement costs or giving tenant concessions. Similarly, it is also possible that leases arising from the Repositioning Process may include tenant reimbursements. If any of these events occur in the future, we intend to include appropriate disclosure, to the extent material in amount, in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act Reports”). In addition, we will also disclose the volume of new or renewed leases, to the extent material, in such Exchange Act Reports. With respect to the Staff’s inquiry regarding “average rents or yields,” and “average market rents trends,” we respectfully respond that we have not previously disclosed or otherwise provided such information to investors in our Exchange Act Reports, press releases or other communications with the investment community since we believe that such disclosure is not relevant or material to investors due to the diversity of our properties in terms of geography and specific property attributes. Our portfolio of more than 1,100 properties is distributed over 21 states. Further diversity as to rents exists within sub-markets of the same Metropolitan Statistical Area due to differing specific location attributes. Kristi Marrone, Staff Accountant Division of Corporation Finance Securities and Exchange Commission Page 3 Capital Expenditures, page 45 2. Please quantify for us the amount of capital expenditures other than property acquisitions of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, and where material, in future Exchange Act reports please separately disclose these amounts here and in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Response: We respectfully inform the Staff that the amount of capital expenditures, other than property acquisition expenditures which have been disclosed, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were immaterial at $24,000, $97,000, and $52,000, respectively. We hereby undertake to disclose, to the extent material, such amounts in future Exchange Act Reports and in our audited consolidated statement of cash flows, accompanying such Exchange Act Reports. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, page 58 Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page 58 3. It appears that you account for all environmental remediation costs as asset retirement obligations under ASC 410-20. Please tell us how you determined that you did not have any environmental obligations under ASC 410-30. Refer to ASC 410-20-15-3(b). Response: We respectfully submit that it is appropriate to account for our environmental remediation costs as asset retirement obligations according to the guidance of ASC 410-20. ASC 410-20 establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost. This subtopic also addresses the accounting for an environmental remediation liability that results from the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Paragraph 410-20-15-3(b) explains that the obligation to clean up the spillage resulting from the normal operation of a fuel storage facility is within the scope of ASC 410-20. Our environmental remediation costs do not fall under ASC 410-30. The guidance in ASC 410-30-10-1 states, “[t]his Subtopic requires that an entity recognize a liability for obligations associated with environmental remediation liabilities that relate to pollution arising from some past act, generally as a result of the provisions of Superfund, the corrective-action provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or analogous state and non-U.S. laws and regulations.” ASC 410-30-15-3(a) further Kristi Marrone, Staff Accountant Division of Corporation Finance Securities and Exchange Commission Page 4 indicates that the subtopic does not apply to instances where the environmental contamination was incurred in the “normal operation of a long-lived asset.” In addition, ASC 410-30-15-3(b) states that the subsection does not apply to “[p]ollution control costs with respect to current operations or on accounting for costs of future site restoration or closure that are required upon the cessation of operations or sale of facilities, as such current and future costs and obligations represent a class of accounting issues different from environmental remediation liabilities.” Finally, as noted in ASC 410-30-15-3(c), “[e]nvironmental remediation actions that are undertaken at the sole discretion of management and that are not induced by the threat, by governments or other parties, of litigation or of assertion of a claim or an assessment” are not reported using ASC 410-30. As reflected in Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Environmental Remediation Costs,” substantially all of the Company’s environmental remediation costs result from the normal operations or from the ordinary course degradation of its long-lived assets, specifically, the removal of underground storage tanks, and, as such, are directly associated with the retirement of those assets. See ASC 410-20-15-2. Accordingly, they fall squarely within the scope of ASC 410-20 and not within the scope of ASC 410-30. Note 3. Commitments and Contingencies, page 62 4. In future Exchange Act reports, please revise to disclose the amount of reasonably possible losses or range of losses in excess of amounts accrued for asset retirement obligations, legal proceedings, and other contingencies or, where applicable, to state that such an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made. Refer to ASC 410-30-50 and ASC 450-20-50. Response: ASC 410-30-50-5 indicates that ASC 450-20 provides the “primary guidance applicable to disclosures of environmental remediation loss contingencies.” We respectfully submit that our disclosures are consistent with the guidance in ASC 450-20-50. Specifically, we record accruals for contingencies when management is able to conclude that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, as required under ASC 450-20-25-2. When a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we disclose the amount of any material accrual as required by ASC 450-20-50-1. When a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we assess whether disclosure of the contingency should be made (even where an appropriate accrual cannot be determined) based on whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss will be incurred. In determining whether an estimate of a reasonable possible loss or range of loss can be made, we review all of the facts and circumstances relating to each contingency. For Kristi Marrone, Staff Accountant Division of Corporation Finance Securities and Exchange Commission Page 5 example, with respect to legal proceedings, we assess the type of claim, the theories of asserted liability, the stage of the proceedings and discussions with claimants, whether the claim is an individual claim or an alleged class action, our defenses and our and others’ past experiences with respect to similar claims. These matters are reviewed with internal legal resources as well as with outside counsel, senior management and others. We respectfully advise the Staff that, as of the 2011 Form 10-K, we concluded that there were no reasonably possible losses or range of losses in excess of the amounts accrued for asset retirement obligations, legal proceedings and other contingencies. Therefore, we did not disclose such amounts or range. Given that establishing estimates related to these types of matters involves a high degree of judgment, and management cannot predict the outcome of any potential claims made against the Company, we disclosed that the outcomes of the related proceedings or claims are uncertain and subject to change. This is consistent with our critical accounting policy disclosure, contained in the 2011 Form 10-K. In future Exchange Act Reports, when we are unable to disclose the amount of reasonably possible losses or ranges in excess of amounts accrued for asset retirement obligations, legal proceedings, and other contingencies, we will add additional disclosure to state that an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made. * * * The Company hereby acknowledges that: • it is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings; • Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the SEC from taking any action with respect to the filings; and • it may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the SEC or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. Kristi Marrone, Staff Accountant Division of Corporation Finance Securities and Exchange Commission Page 6 We appreciate the Staff’s prompt reply to this letter and request that the Staff contact the undersigned at (516) 478-5403 or Mr. Wm. David Chalk, the Company’s corporate counsel at (410) 580-4120 with any questions or comments regarding this letter. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Thomas Stirnweis Thomas J.
