HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – After a few months of construction, the FiveStar convenience store has opened up its first location in Christian County alongside 20 Marathon fuel pumps. Just one day after opening on April 29 at Pembroke Road across from Bill Bryan Boulevard, the location is already seeing steady incoming traffic.
During Community Development Services meeting in March, Beth Richardson shared that the area currently sees around 11,647 trips per day. The addition of the gas station has the potential to add 10,852 trips per day.
This new location serves up locally roasted coffee, fresh food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a variety of cold drinks with their signature Chewy Ice. FiveStar is owned by the Newcomb Oil Co., which has more than 90 convenience store locations across Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee. It has approximately 1,400 employees with its headquarters located in Bardstown Kentucky.
Over recent years, development in that area continues to grow with the Agriculture Expo Center, Hutson John Deere, and a Hucks convenience store.
