Work is also progressing on the new United Express on Wilson Street. The facility will be 2,400 square feet and will feature a five-pump (10-dispenser) fuel station offering both gasoline and diesel. In addition to traditional convenience items (fountain drinks, grab-and-go packaged food, propane tank refills, etc.), United Express also will offer a wide assortment of “fresh to-go” items made inside the main store – including breakfast burritos, hot sandwiches, fresh fruit, and f’Real milkshakes and other frozen beverages. Construction is slated to be completed by the middle of this year.
