DUXBURY, ATHOL and BELLINGHAM, MA : VERC Enterprises (http://vercenterprises.com), a leading convenience store and Mobil/Gulf/Irving/Shell gasoline operator with locations throughout  Massachusetts and New Hampshire, is beginning the new year with a story of continued expansion, as the growing company announces the opening of two new locations in Central Massachusetts.

 

Leo Vercollone, Chief Executive Officer, confirmed that VERC Enterprises has opened new locations in Athol and in Bellingham, MA.

 

The Athol location will be the second largest store in their chain, a full service, 5,000 square foot store, located at 1271 Templeton Road, Athol, to be known as VERC Athol Mobil. Vercollone said that this a first to industry, new construction which has never previously housed a gasoline station or convenience store. VERC is leasing the property. Highlights of the new location will include a Dunkin Donuts drive through, sales of beer and wine, and a diesel truck aisle at the pumps. VERC’s Megan Newcomb will serve as the Athol location’s Team Leader.

 

VERC further expand with the opening of a new location in Bellingham (their second in that community). This is a unique addition to the VERC family in that it is their first Shell station. VERC Bellingham Shell, located at 18 N. Main Street, previously housed a Citgo station which was torn down. Paul Williams will be the Team Leader. It will serve as a convenience store and gasoline station.

 

He added, “This brings our total count of stores to 33, and we’re not finished yet. We are excited about so many things with this expansion! This is our first shell location for one thing, and of course we are delighted at the reception we’ve received from our new communities.”
