Marion's only 24-hour store is about to be a zero-hour outlet, at least for a few months while a complete renovation and expansion takes place.
Five Star Food Mart will be closing for its expansion beginning 6 a.m., Jan. 3. At that time, the convenience store and gas pumps will shut down. A spokesperson from Newcomb Oil Co., owner of the chain of stores, earlier said such a project would take four months before the store could reopen.
Newcomb Oil Co. is based in Bardstown, Ky. They operate dozens of Five Star stores in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
