Construction continues on a new 8,000-square-foot convenience store at the southwest corner of State Route 223 (Smith Lane) and U.S. Highway 70.

Shell will be the fuel distributor, but an opening date or a name for the business, which is located near Central Distributors on approximately 3.3 acres – has not been announced.
