Last week, the doors of Cumberland Farms closed for good at the corner of L and 5th. A few weeks back, we reported the building was for sale and under agreement. It was unclear if the building would be developed into something larger or if a new business would replace it. Well, it looks like it’s going to remain a convenience store under new ownership.
Friend of CIS, Eileen Murphy saw some people moving items and doing some work inside the store on Tuesday. Looks like Heritage Market will be taking over and will open on Friday.
So although Cumberland Farms is gone, the neighborhood will not lose a convenience store at this location. Which is a good thing.

Let just hope it doesn’t become a liquor store
