Fastrac Markets opens new store in Pulaski

PULASKI — Fastrac Markets, an upstate New York chain of gas station/convenience stores, has opened a new store in the village of Pulaski.

Fastrac last fall acquired the property at 3821 Rome Road, which was formerly home to a Nice N Easy store, Jim Allen, Fastrac’s VP of marketing, tells CNYBJ in an email. The firm demolished the structure and built a new 4,500-square-foot convenience store offering eight fueling stations, and indoor and outdoor seating. It opened on June 29.

“Rather than remodel, we thought it was smarter just to take a bulldozer to the building and build a brand new store,” says Allen. 

He declined to provide the total cost for opening the new Fastrac store, including construction and property acquisition costs. The property is assessed at $295,000 and has a full market value of $339,000, according to Oswego County online property records.

Construction took about six months and included the winter months. Allen wouldn’t name the companies that handled the demolition and construction work.

“[We] felt that Pulaski was a nice small- town area that met our criteria for expansion and that Fastrac would be a great addition in serving that community,” Allen says when asked why Fastrac chose to open a store in Pulaski.

 Located off Interstate 81, the new store employs 13 full-time and two part-time workers.

The convenience store offers a dining menu including pizza, smoothies, and sandwiches, among other items. The gas station includes four diesel pumps and ethanol-free 90 octane fuels for local boating and snowmobiling enthusiasts.

Fastrac, headquartered in the town of DeWitt, is a 20-year-old chain with 53 locations across upstate New York — including the Adirondacks, Mohawk Valley, North Country, Central New York, and Western New York. The company employs more than 450 people total.
