Located at the intersection of Jackson Avenue and East 19 th Street, the pre-existing convenience store was razed and rebuilt to become the new fueling and food destination for the neighborhood. Xpress Mart’s philosophy of being a good neighbor to the community meshed well with the design team’s coordination and layout of the site. New fences and retaining walls for the neighbors were part of the detailed work on the back of the store. As most all Xpress Mart Stores are, this was a four–sided building that provided the neighbors a nice masonry wall screen for vision and sound separation from the busy street. Additionally, it helped shore up the eroding backyards of the neighboring properties. The tall building provided a needed sound barrier to the homes located behind the store. The neighbors were in high anticipation of the food options that would be offered by the new convenience store. Like most Xpress Marts that are in local neighborhoods, there is an expanded fare of beverage and food options over what was available before. This location has an added kitchen and will be a great source of commerce for the local community that it will serve for many years to come
