The new convenience store at the Hess gas station on the corner of Little River Turnpike and John Marr Drive in Annandale was delivered in three pieces from Georgia on April 26 and is being assembled on site. It is expected to be ready to open in July.
The Hess Express store will have the typical items usually found in a 7-Eleven, plus self-serve Dunkin’ Donuts and a Blimpie sub shop, said construction supervisor Barry Eskert with the Mid Atlantic Construction Group, the same company building the Walgreens a few blocks west on Little River Turnike. Outside, there will be eight gas pumps under a canopy, air pumps, vacuums, and, surprisingly, a phone booth.
