West Market GetGo Opens Today

After months of construction, the six-pump gas station and convenience store open today.

The $2.2 million station has six pumps and a convenience store. Customers traveling east on West Market can make a right turn in, but have to exit at Trunko Road. Customers cannot access the gas station by making a left turn from West Market. To accommodate the increased traffic at that intersection, Giant Eagle agreed to pay for more than half of the cost to widen Trunko Road, which was finished earlier this summer.
