MERIDEN, Conn. -- The Hamideh family has opened a new Irving Oil gas station in Meriden, Conn., expanding the regional brand to the community. And an Irving Oil location in Riverside, R.I., has opened under new ownership.
"We have always admired the Irving brand," said Omar Hamideh. "We knew that if we ever opened our own convenience store we wanted to hang the Irving flag. After months of construction and a lot of hard work, we are excited to be open and ready to serve the community."
The Irving Prime Mart offers complete convenience store amenities including a full [image-nocss] deli and expansive grocery selection at competitive prices.
"Irving is always looking to partner with businesses that share our values for excellent customer service and a great fueling experience. We are confident that the Hamideh family will provide exactly that," said Harry Hadiaris, general manager of Irving Oil Marketing. "We're very pleased to continue to expand the Irving name in Connecticut."
A grand opening celebration to welcome new customers is expected in the spring.
Separately, the Irving Oil station in Riverside has a new owner, Peter Vaserman. He recently renovated the location and plans to make additional upgrades.
"I have always thought highly of Irving Oil because of their strong reputation and commitment to the community," said Vaserman. "When the opportunity to purchase this service station arose, I was eager to join the growing network of Irving locations in Rhode Island."
The location participates in Irving's gasoline savings program with Shaw's Supermarkets. In addition to participating in that program, customers can redeem more savingssix cents off per gallon every Monday.
"We are pleased to partner with family owned businesses as we grow the Irving brand across Rhode Island and New England," said Hadiaris. "Irving is known for excellent customer service and a great fueling experience; exactly what Peter Vaserman and his team will provide."
