Jiffy Mart – Hinesburg, VT
Another successful convenient store, but this one is truly one of the most impressive yet. Naylor & Breen site crew, led by Gary Rowe, excavated every square inch of the site, transforming an existing desolate corner lot into a useful, open, attractive, and functional area for cars and pedestrians alike. The building surely anchors the corner with its pure stature. Like the Lebanon, NH store, this building not only boasts a masonry exterior but also includes some "green" elements that have made the locals stand up and take notice. The owners opted to install solar panels on the roof to take advantage of the south facing entry. These panels, used to heat the domestic hot water, nearly eliminate any H2O heating costs. Also, CoCo invested in upgraded RTU's that bring their HVAC system to a whole new level.The interior is as impressive as the exterior. Customers, while using the main entry, walk into a two-story foyer - the ceiling clad with clear cedar tongue & groove planks. The open floor plan, coupled with the 12' high ceilings make for a "larger than life" space, allowing uninhibited access throughout the store.
Custom crafted and finished maple cabinetry by Hawk Hill is the store's main showpiece. Along with a 30-foot long run of cabinets and solid surface tops, there is also a large food prep area, and coffee station, all handmade and finished by N&B's own cabinet shop. The place is busting at the seams' the Hinesburg residents love it!
