Expiration Likely for The Barn Drive-Thru

Owners say plans beyond upcoming renovations of the convenience store have not yet been determined.

The Barn on Main Street will be closing Sunday indefinitely for renovations, but when the work is complete there is no guarantee the drive-through convenience store will reopen.

"We're going to close, we're going to renovate, and then we're going to kind of review – is this the best concept, is this the best store for this area, are we just going to clean up and reopen," said a store representative who spoke under anonymity.

The options for the location are endless according to the source, who said the store would be open to exploring new business models and practices from co-branding with another store or company to eliminating certain products and bringing new products in, to possibly permanently closing its doors.

Renovations that will be completed at the location include electrical work, new floors and other interior renovations.

The source said Dairy Barn sold the Smithtown location back in the spring last year to a corporation that took it over as The Barn.
