After three years of planning, construction began on the fourth Landhope store in the Oxford area with the official groundbreaking early last week, according to a report in the Daily Local News.

The company partnered with Schorn Construction to build the new location. The store in Lower Oxford Township, at the corner of Conner Road and Limestone Road, should be open by the end of the year and employ around 30 full- and part-time employees.

“It was a solid business decision to sell some of our assets back in 1999 when we left the Oxford community,” said Dixon Stroud, Landhope Corporation’s owner and president. “However, we also realized that as we prepared for our new expansion, Oxford was going to be the first community we re-entered.”

In addition to regular convenience store items, the 6,000-square-foot store will feature a spacious coffee and specialty beverage area, hand-dipped ice cream, and the famous Landhope deli. The new store will also feature high-speed diesel pumps at the back.

“The people of Oxford know Landhope Farms and that we stand for freshness and quality,” said Dennis McCartney, director of operations.
