New Gas Station, Convenience Store Coming to Lafayette Street

A new gas station is being built on Lafayette Street in Salem.

A new gas station and convenience store is taking shape on Lafayette Street in Salem. 

A construction project at the AL Prime Energy gas station, located at 175 Lafayette St., began last week when the station's gas pumps were removed. 

On Monday, City Planner Lynn Duncan said Salem's new gas station will have three double-sided gas pumps and a full canopy.

As part of the project, AL Prime Energy purchased the adjacent building that was formerly home to the Lafayette Street Market and is developing that space as a convenience store, Duncan said. 

Are you looking forward to the opening of the new gas station? Will you miss the AL Prime station on Lafayette while the new one is being built?
