How have sales gone?
The Form D record has one sales figure so far, so there is no trend to chart. The figure is in Sales so far ↑.
How is it financed, and what did it cost to sell?
No filing or sponsor document located names a lender, states a loan amount, or describes the Trust as all-cash, so whether mortgage debt sits behind this travel center is unresolved in the public record. An exchanger who must replace debt would have to settle that question from the offering documents.

Form D Item 15 and Item 16 amounts may be the issuer’s estimates; each percentage is Top1031’s arithmetic on two Form D figures. Item 16 can overlap Item 15, so Top1031 does not add them together. The issuer marked these amounts as an estimate.
Who's behind TA Express Travel Center?
Kingsbarn sponsors Delaware statutory trusts for 1031 exchangers and brought this travel center to market through that structure. 2 The Form D places sponsor affiliates on nearly every side of the deal: KB Exchange Properties, LLC as sponsor, Kingsbarn Realty Capital, LLC as its manager, KB Kilgore ST, LLC as manager of the trust, KB Kilgore Holdings, LLC as depositor, and KB Kilgore MT, LLC as master tenant. 1 By July 2026, the Trust no longer appeared on the sponsor's current-offerings list.

What does the SEC record show?

Common questions
- Is TA Express Travel Center an active offering?
- TA Express Travel Center is an Active offering: its latest Form D was filed Jan 7, 2026. A Form D filing does not by itself confirm that interests are still available; the sponsor or a registered representative can confirm what is open.
- Who is the tenant, and what is the lease?
- Kingsbarn announced on November 20, 2025 that the property is 100% leased to LV Petroleum, LLC, doing business as FuelBros. TA Express is a franchised brand at this site, so the rent obligation runs to the franchisee operator rather than to TravelCenters of America itself.
- Does the Trust use leverage?
- The public record does not say. A 1031 exchanger who must replace mortgage debt needs that answer before identifying the property; the offering documents and any loan documents are where it lives.
- What is a master tenant, and why does it matter here?
- In many DSTs the trust does not run operations itself; it leases the entire property to a master tenant, which deals with the operating tenant and passes rent up to the trust. The Form D filed January 7, 2026 identifies KB Kilgore MT, LLC — a sponsor-controlled entity and an affiliate of the depositor — as master tenant for this Trust. An investor's cash flow therefore depends on the master lease terms as well as the operator's lease, both of which sit in the offering documents rather than in any SEC filing.
- What did the Form D disclose about the offering and its costs?
- The Form D filed January 7, 2026 describes KB Kilgore, DST as a Delaware statutory trust organized in Delaware in 2025, offering 100 Class 1 beneficial interests at $518,550 per interest for a total offering amount of $51,855,000. Any further costs and fees are disclosed in the offering documents, not in the notice filing.
- What is the risk profile of a single-tenant travel center?
- All rent comes from one operator at one interstate location, so tenant credit and corridor traffic drive results; Kingsbarn's November 20, 2025 announcement described the site as sitting on an Interstate 20 stretch carrying more than 41,000 vehicles a day. The public filings disclose none of the lease economics, no environmental or engineering findings and no purchase price — the environmental item matters at a fueling site — so the offering documents, third-party reports and the lease itself are the only sources for those.
