ASHLAND Anyone driving along Winchester Avenue in East Ashland may have noticed construction crews diligently hammering away at the purple-painted corpse of the old Shoneyâs.
Thatâs because a new car lot is coming town, the owner has confirmed.
Back in February of this year, the property was purchased by Burkett Crum Properties Inc., a company owned by two used car lot dealers down in Floyd County.
Dustin Crum, an owner of Affordable Auto in Prestonsburg, confirmed a new lot is set to open in about the next three months, just in time for the Christmas car shopping season. According to Crum, Affordable Automotive started in 2016 and acquired another dealership last year.
