Troy Spencer, left, a local contractor, pulls hinges and other metal scraps from the interior of Kay Croghan’s old antiques store along U.S. 54 in Gas this morning. Spencer is removing any salvageable pieces from the store so crews can begin — either today or Wednesday — demolishing the building to make way for a new Dollar General Store. Crews from Copeland Construction will handle the demolition portion. A large excavator and other heavy machinery were parked at the site Monday for use for site prep. Dollar General will be at the intersection of U.S. 54 and Taylor Street.
