Run-down Pride Station in Agawam to be demolished, new ‘Pride Kitchen’ planned
Pride Convenience Inc. on Oct. 1 pulled a permit with the city’s Building Division to demolish an old service station and car wash at 395 Main St. In its place, a new, 5,400-square-foot “Pride Kitchen” convenience store with gas pumps and a drive-through will be built, Pride Stores CEO Robert L. Bolduc said Thursday. In a telephone interview, Bolduc said demolition will take place this fall, that he will submit applications to the city’s Planning Department and that he hopes to start construction in the spring.
