Murphy Express is one step closer toward opening a new location in Murfreesboro.
The convenience store is in the process of receiving its building permit to open a 2,756 square-foot facility with six fuel pumps at 1695 Memorial Blvd., according to Brent Rowland, commercial plans examiner with the Building and Codes Department.
The building located at the corner of Memorial and Northfield boulevards was once a Fuddruckers and most recently Drink night club, but it has been vacant for several years. It is being torn down to make way for the new Murphy Express.

This holiday season, Linebaugh Library urges residents to give a gift that keeps on giving – a book or DVD in honor or memory of a loved one.
During the month of December, the Linebaugh, Smyrna, Eagleville, and Myrtle Glanton Lord library branches will display Giving Trees, a news release announced. Ornaments on the trees feature books, audio books and DVDs from the libraries’ wish lists – items that the library might otherwise be unable to purchase.
Other ornaments give the option of making a donation to the library’s adult or juvenile book fund. Donations can be made in any amount. Contributions to the Giving Tree program are tax-deductible. Donations may be given in memory of someone who has passed away or as a tribute to honor a family member, friend or colleague.
“We know the holidays bring out the giving spirit in many. The Giving Trees are an easy way for people to show their support for their local public library,” said LPLS Director Rita Shacklett. “By selecting a book from our Giving Tree, you can make a contribution in honor of that hard-to-shop-for person on your list or in memory of a loved one. Your gift not only honors them but can be shared with the entire community.”
The library will place a bookplate in selected items, identifying both the donor and the honoree. Those who make a contribution in honor or memory of someone will be given a card which the donor can send to notify the honoree or family of the contribution.
This is the fourth year for the LPLS Giving Tree program, the news release states. In 2010, libraries received more than $1,300 in donations through the program.

As temperatures dip below freezing, residents have begun cranking up their heaters.
With more than $1 million remaining for qualifying energy efficient appliance rebates, now is the time to upgrade heating systems.
The state’s Department of Economic and Community Development’s energy division reports that as of Oct. 30, approximately 17,491 rebates, totaling more than $4 million have been paid to Tennesseans through the program.
Tennessee consumers can still purchase and install eligible Energy Star Appliances to replace less efficient models and receive a rebate debit card on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted. Applications must be postmarked by Jan. 14, 2012.
“As the clock winds down on this program, ECD’s Energy Division would like to encourage Tennesseans to take advantage of the rebate while it is available,” said Molly Cripps, director of the energy division. “Energy Star heating and cooling units will decrease energy usage which can result in lower bills for our residents, all while supporting the state’s conservation efforts.”
Eligible appliances include air source heat pumps, central air conditioners, gas furnaces and room air conditioners with the Energy Star designation.
A rebate of $250 is available for the air source heat pumps and central air conditioners, a rebate of $150 is available for gas furnaces, and a rebate of $40 is available for room air conditioners. Purchases made on or after April 22, 2010, are eligible for the rebate. |
