The site at the corner of Main and Gum streets was a convenience store for many years, operated as a Pantry then locally-owned Mel’s Market. In more recent years, it has been a church and a seasonal fireworks retail store.
The Pantry property at the intersection of U.S. 60 and U.S. 641 – perhaps the busiest location in Crittenden County – and the adjoining lot that was once a muffler shop were purchased Friday by Crittenden Properties, LLC.
Crittenden Properties is a Kentucky limited liability corporation that was formed a week ago by local businessmen Kent Martin and Charlie Hunt.
Hunt told The Press that the old Pantry lot will be gone within hours. A track hoe began tearing down the building today.
