Reid Acquires Three N.Y. Stores

Rebranded Crosby's locations in Chautauqua County now open
LOCKPORT, N.Y. -- Reid Stores Inc. has acquired three convenience stores in Chautauqua County, N.Y., from Lake County Dairy. Rebranded last week as part of Reid's Crosby's c-store chain, the locations are in Falconer, Westfield (with Sunoco fuel) and Bemus Point/Greenhurst (with Keystone fuel).

The new stores will feature many upgraded amenities including Crosby's new takeout and eat-in menu at Crosby's Corner Cafe.

The Corner Cafe Pizzeria offers hot pizza, from single slices to larger party tray orders, made with Crosby's own freshly baked bread and 100% whole-milk [image-nocss] mozzarella. The pizzeria's signature calzones and jumbo chicken wings are also on the menu at select locations.

The Sub Shoppe offers made-to-order hot or cold subs, while the Bake Shoppe serves a wide range of fresh-baked cookies. Customers can pick up pre-made subs, sandwiches and salads, all made fresh daily in the store's Corner Caf a on the Go section.

Crosby's Corner Cafe Coffeehouse features a wide variety of hot beverages, from Signature Blend to Dark Roast, Kona, decaffeinated, hot chocolate and more, along with cappuccino flavors and Magic Cow flavorings. The coffeehouse serves only 100% high-grown Arabica bean coffee blends.
Future plans include the addition of The Corner Cafe Connect with free Wi-Fi to accommodate store patrons' laptops and other personal communication devices.

"We're proud to bring our Chautauqua County-area customers more of the convenience services they want and need," said Doug Galli, vice president and general manager of Reid Stores. "Customers can grab a hot coffee, a quick bite to eat or fill up their gas tank, all in one place."

The stores will carry a wide selection of cold beverages, dairy and frozen food, competitively priced grocery items, as well as tobacco products, and other amenities including an ATM, prepaid wireless phone cards, gift cards, E-Z Pass applications and New York State Lottery games. Visitors to the Westfield and Bemus Point locations will also be able to fuel up with the pay-at-the-pump option.

Reid is also in the process of rebranding its 14 K&K Marts in western and central New York to the Crosby's brand.

Reid Stores Inc., a division of The Reid Group, is headquartered in Lockport, N.Y. The company currently operates 17 Crosby's c-stores throughout Upstate New York and northwestern Pennsylvania. The Reid Group, based in nearby Brockport, N.Y., is a full-service independent motor fuel marketer, providing a comprehensive range of products and services for retail motor fuel outlets and c-stores.
