Utilizing an existing building and property at the intersection of E. 53rd Street and Prospect Avenue, the site was renovated to house a brand-new C-Store to service the neighborhood. The original building was salvaged on the site during the construction process and is scheduled to be remodeled for a future tenant.
The exterior is the signature Xpress Mart image and branding with real structural masonry, tan colored EIFS, cut stone look tile, and red standing seam awnings. Xpress Mart buildings generally have tall side walls as a high-quality screening for mechanical equipment on the roof and in this case, additional sound and privacy for the houses above and behind the store. It is an attractive addition to the area that will welcome patrons nearby. Customers will be greeted with a bright, inviting interior. Plenty of selections are available from reach-in cooler and freezer doors that flank the walls to many shelves filled with various goods. Self service areas of beverages and grab n’ go snacks are perfect for the time conscious commuter. Because this store is situated in an area of town with many pedestrian users it also sells traditional local corner store items.
