A State College-area Uni-Mart and ExxonMobil gas station have seemingly closed after decades in business.

The convenience store and gas station, located at 3180 W. College Ave., are apparently no longer in operation, with gas pumps covered and fuel prices omitted from road-facing signage. Nearly the entire indoor market has been cleared out with shelves removed and drink coolers emptied, though a webpage for the site remains online.

Though the market and fuel pumps are seemingly closed, the Dunkin’ located inside the Uni-Mart remains in operation. Signs posted on doors, windows and fuel pumps read, “We’re still here! Come in and say hello.”

An employee at the Dunkin’ counter, ostensibly the only worker on-site at 4 p.m. on Monday, said the Uni-Mart and its accompanying fuel pumps have been closed for roughly a week.

For now, it remains unclear why the Uni-Mart and ExxonMobil fuel pumps closed. Officials from both companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Centre Daily Times.

Several other Uni-Mart convenience stores with accompanying gas stations remain in operation in the State College area, including sites at 500 E. College Ave. and 315 W. Aaron Drive.
