Exhibit 99.1

RELEASE: IMMEDIATE

GETTY REALTY CORP. ANNOUNCES

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER

ENDED MARCH 31, 2007

JERICHO, NY, May 1, 2007 --- Getty Realty Corp. (NYSE-GTY) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Net earnings were $10.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 which was comparable to the net earnings of $10.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Funds from operations, or FFO, were $12.3 million and adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, were $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 which were comparable to the FFO of $12.4 million and AFFO of $11.6 million for the prior year period. FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP measures of the performance of real estate investment trusts and are defined and reconciled to net earnings in the financial tables at the end of this release.

Diluted earnings per share, FFO per share and AFFO per share were $0.42, $0.49 and $0.48 per share, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which were comparable to the $0.43, $0.50 and $0.47 per share, respectively, for the prior year period.

Mr. Leo Liebowitz, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Although our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 are comparable to the prior year period in almost every area, we are excited about our $83.8 million acquisition of convenience store and gas station properties from GE Capital Solutions, Franchise Finance (“GE-FF”, formerly known as Trustreet Properties) which was substantially completed at the end of the first quarter. Although we currently estimate that the acquisition will reduce our net earnings by approximately $0.03 per share on an annual basis due to non-cash accounting charges, we expect that it will be accretive to our FFO and AFFO on an annual basis by approximately $0.11 and $0.08 per share, respectively. These estimates are preliminary and are subject to significant change as we complete our accounting valuation of the acquisition and the cost allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.”

Revenues from rental properties for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $18.0 million which were comparable to the $18.1 million for the prior year period. Rent received for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $17.5 million as compared with $17.2 million for the prior year period. The increase in rent received was primarily due to rental income from property acquisitions and rent escalations. In addition to rent received, revenues from rental properties include deferred rental revenues accrued due to recognition of rental income on a straight-line basis of $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and $0.8 million for the prior year period.

Operating expenses were $6.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 which was comparable to the $6.9 million for the prior year period.

Interest expense increased by $0.3 million to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $0.7 for the respective prior year period. Interest expense increased primarily due to additional borrowings used to finance the acquisition of properties in February 2006. Interest expense also increased due to increased interest rates that averaged 6.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as compared to 5.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

In addition to measurements defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Getty also focuses on funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) to measure its performance. FFO is generally considered to be an appropriate supplemental non-GAAP measure of the performance of REITs. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net earnings before depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains or losses on dispositions of real estate, non-FFO items reported in discontinued operations and extraordinary items. Other REITs mayuse definitions of FFO and/or AFFO that are different than Getty’s and, accordingly, may not be comparable.

Getty believes that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring its performance because FFO excludes various items included in GAAP net earnings that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, Getty’s fundamental operating performance such as gains or losses from property dispositions and depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. In Getty’s case, however, GAAP net earnings and FFO include the significant impact of deferred rental revenue (straight-line rental revenue) on its recognition of revenues from rental properties, which primarily results from fixed rental increases scheduled under certain leases with its tenants. In accordance with GAAP, the aggregate minimum rent due over the initial term of these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis rather than when due. GAAP net earnings and FFO may also include an income tax provision or benefit recognized due to adjustments in amounts accrued for uncertain tax positions related to being taxed as a C-corp., rather than as a REIT, prior to 2001. As a result, Getty pays particular attention to AFFO, a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that Getty defines as FFO less straight-line rental revenue and income taxes. Income taxes did not have a significant impact on our earnings for the periods presented, and accordingly, do not appear as a separate item in our statement of operations or reconciliation of AFFO from net earnings. In Getty’s view, AFFO provides a more accurate depiction than FFO of the impact of scheduled rent increases under these leases and Getty’s election to be taxed as a REIT beginning in 2001. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash generated from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP and therefore these measures should not be considered an alternative for GAAP net earnings or as a measure of liquidity.
