Cumby Opens 4th New Concept Store

QuikTrip opens 66th DFW store; more Xtra Mart, Nice N Easy stores coming
HUDSON, Mass. -- Hudson, Mass., is home to Cumberland Farms' newest concept store. The brand new model is designed to make life easier for the community, the retailer said. From a wide variety of sandwiches that can be toasted on site, to thick chocolate milkshakes, flatbread breakfast sandwiches and personal pepperoni pizzas, the new menu is squarely focused on fresh food, and it is "steeped in the company's farm-family heritage."

The Hudson store is the fourth of the company's new concept renovated stores, part of a multi-year, multi-million dollar investment in revitalizing [image-nocss] the brand.

To celebrate the grand opening and to reinforce its commitment to the community, Cumberland Farms is presenting the Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest with a $1,000 donation. The club serves more than 600 young people per day in Hudson, Framingham and Marlborough, Mass. Students are elementary school age through high school, and they participate in afterschool programs ranging from technology programs to gym activities.

Framingham, Mass.-based Cumberland Farms' network of retail stores, gas stations and a support system including petroleum, dairy and grocery distribution operations spans 11 states across the Northeast and Florida.
