Since you'll probably be coming into town to vote on Saturday May 18, while you're here you should stop by the new Xpress Stores Yass for its grand opening between 9am and noon.

"The grand opening event welcomes the local community to sample the food offering plus enjoy a complimentary coffee and our delicious Xpress Stores cupcakes on offer," the team says.

Plus, "The first 100 visitors will receive a free Xpress Stores gift pack."

The new Xpress Stores Yass is located at Mobil Yass, 44 Comur Street.

This newly-updated site will be "A mix of convenience store and Xpress Café," they explained.

Xpress Group Retail Manager Lanette Hunstone said you'll "now have the convenience of refuelling and enjoying a barista-made coffee or grabbing a quick bite to eat from our hot food menu".

In addition to the convenience of refuelling as you pass through town "Xpress Stores are ideal for picking up milk and bread and enjoying a quick bite to eat or a deliciously smooth barista-made coffee," while the Xpress Café offers quick hot and cold lunch or snack options that include pies, sausage rolls and sandwiches.

Ms Hunstone also said the company is delighted they are able to bring the brand to the Yass Valley community. "Come and meet the Xpress Stores team," she said enthusiastically.

They recently had similar grand openings in Gilgandra at the start of May and Narrandera in early April and now they're headed our way, so don't miss it.

Sample the coffee, sample the cupcakes, sample the hot food, and be quick for the gift pack.
