This Coen store will replace the CoGo's on Route 8 in Valencia that was damaged in a traffic accident in May.

The CoGo's store on Route 8 in Middlesex Township that was damaged after being struck by a car in a fatal accident in May will reopen as a Coen convenience store.

Coen Markets, based in Washington County, purchased CoGo's and its 38 stores in 2018.

Renovation work is expected to begin around Aug. 31 and will take six to eight weeks to complete, said Keith Broviak, Coen chief marketing officer and senior director.

“We are going to remodel the store, repair the damage we incurred from the unfortunate accident,” Broviak said. “We'll completely remodel that site. We'll gut the interior and upgrade the exterior to the new look of the Coen Markets image.”
