SPRINGFIELD, Ma. -- Big Y Foods Inc. will more than double its convenience-store presence this winter after entering into an agreement to acquire the operating assets of three O’Connell Convenience Plus stations in Massachusetts.
The stores are located in Hadley, Longmeadow and Wilbraham. Mass.
Big Y expects to begin operating these locations in late January 2016 and will convert them to its Big Y Express banner throughout the winter months. All employees of O’Connell will have an opportunity to apply and interview with Big Y.
There are currently two Big Y Express Gas and Convenience Stores in operation in Lee and Pittsfield, Mass. Big Y opened its first location in partnership with F.L. Roberts & Co. in 2013.
Based in Springfield, Mass., Big Y is one of the largest independently owned supermarket chains in New England. Family owned and operated, the company operates 63 stores throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts with over 10,000 employees.
