Metro Mart has completed a 5,235-square-foot facility at 1400 W. 10th Ave. in Kennewick. The development combines a fuel station, convenience store, laundromat and electric vehicle charging stations to serve local residents and travelers.

The fuel station features eight fueling positions offering diesel, unleaded, premium unleaded and non-ethanol gasoline, with bulk diesel exhaust fluid available at the pumps. An illuminated canopy covers the fueling area, and two dual-port electric vehicle charging stations are located near the front of the store.

The convenience store offers a variety of retail goods, two customer restrooms and a deli with on-site Chester’s Chicken and Hot Stuff Pizza kitchens serving freshly prepared meals and grab-and-go options. The convenience store is open 24 hours a day.

The adjacent laundromat includes 16 large-capacity washing machines, 22 dryers, folding stations, rolling laundry carts, laundry supplies and a dedicated customer restroom. It is open daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Two exterior entrances provide access to the laundromat separately from the convenience store.

The property is accessible from both Olympia Drive and 10th Avenue. An outdoor patio with tables and seating gives customers a place to eat, relax or wait while doing laundry.

The project was developed by Mahal Investments, the parent company managing multiple Metro Mart locations in southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon.

“I saw an opportunity to serve the local community with a convenient, reliable place to fuel up and grab everyday essentials. My goal was not just to build a gas station, but to create a business that serves the neighborhood, builds customer loyalty, and contributes to the local economy,” said Haryodh Singh Mahal in an statement.

Thorn Construction Group served as the general contractor.  

Baker Architecture of Richland provided architectural engineering.

The project was completed Oct. 20.
