Northside Convenience Store and Gas Station Coming to Bedford
The old Gammys General Store at 44 North Rd is being remodeled. A new gas station and convenience store are coming soon and will be named Northside Convenience. The new gas station is sorely needed. A few years back, Bedford had six gas stations, now only three remain (Sunoco, Shell and Exxon). More details to follow.
Remodeling has begun for the new Northside Convenience Store and Gas Station. The second floor which was formerly occupied by The Callahan Kenpo Karate Studio, is still available for rent.

Bedford Stop and Shop Undergoes Renovation
The Bedford Stop and Shop has recently begin renovations to make the store more inviting. I spoke to Stop and Shop about the renovation. The most noticeable changes will be a larger produce area with new fixtures and an expanded natural food section. They will also be adding a full service meat case which will feature a much wider selection of marinated meats and some prepared foods in an effort to better compete with Whole Foods. Some of the flooring will also be replaced with the new style "wood" laminate. As part of the update, the outside facade will also be replaced with an more modern design. The store will remain open during the renovation.
No changes are expected for the Pharmacy, Dunkin' Donuts or Citizen Bank. The checkouts will stay the same as well. The one change I wish they would make, is having more than one cashier working in the later evening. I have frequently seen 10-20 people in line and only one lane open and the self checkout is closed as well. What's the point of having self checkout if you close it?
In any case, the renovation work is expected to be completed by the middle of July and it is likely there will be some type of "re-grand opening" at that time.
