Site Prep Underway for Court Street “Mini Travel Center”

Work has started on a project to develop a Circle K convenience store and two restaurants in a new complex to be built on Court Street in Binghamton.

Briad Development of New Jersey has been planning to develop a "mini travel center" near the Brandywine Highway.

The new businesses will be located at Court and Liberty streets where Columbia Gas once had a three-story office building. After NYSEG acquired Columbia Gas, the property was sold to a Kirkwood man in 2005. The unused building was torn down in 2014.

Briad acquired the site for $1.3 million last November. Crews from LCP Group of Vestal this week demolished a couple of small structures on the site.

The Circle K convenience shop and gas station would be the first Broome County location for the chain. There are 28 Circle K stores elsewhere in New York state. Briad is planning to open 40 more franchised locations across the upstate region.

Plans released by Briad Development call for eights gas pumps at the fueling facility. They also indicated the center also would include drive-thru Wendy's and Jimmy John's restaurants.

After this story was published, a Briad representative said a Dunkin location will be part of the complex instead of a Jimmy John's restaurant.

Construction of the Court Street travel center is expected to get underway within the next several weeks.
