The approximate 3-acre development will feature a drive-thru $3 Car Wash, nine fuel pumps and a 4,900-square-foot convenient-type store that is called “The Market”, designed and equipped by award winning c-store consulting firm PES Design Group. The Market will also house a Dunkin’ Donuts with a drive-thru window and a well stocked convenience retail area.
Other notable offerings included in PES Design Group’s “The Market” concept includes eighteen cooler doors offering a vast variety of cold beverages, beer, wine and market items such as milk, lunchmeat, cheese, etc. Hot and cold grab-n-go food stations are among The Market’s feature convenience areas as well as it’s an award winning “Brew House” beer cave design.
