Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Getty Realty Corp. (the “Registrant”) hereby requests acceleration of the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-200913) filed on December 12, 2014 (the “Registration Statement”), so that it will become effective on January 30, 2015 at 4:00 P.M.

In connection with the foregoing acceleration request, the Registrant hereby acknowledges the following:
