Convenience store, bus station reopen on Sixth Street

A Conoco convenience store at Sixth Street and Crestline Drive in Lawrence is back open, once again giving Greyhound Bus passengers a place to wait indoors.

The store, at 2447 W. Sixth St., had continued to serve as a pick-up and drop-off site for the bus line, even after the convenience store had closed late last year.

But this week, new owner Swarnjit Singh reopened the business, leasing the building, parking lot and four fuel pumps from a Topeka-based group that had bought the place from its previous owners.

Singh, who previously has managed a convenience store for his brother in Kansas City, Mo., said that he hoped to be selling Greyhound bus tickets at the Lawrence store within a week.

The store is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day except Friday and Saturday, when it remains open until midnight.
