Chiappini’s Gulf Station to close after 91 years as founding family retires

Chiappini’s Gulf Station in Melrose, a family-owned convenience store that has operated since 1935, is closing its doors this week as third-generation owners Mark and Robin Chiappini retire. The store has served the Melrose community for nearly a century, offering beer, bait, propane, and formerly fuel. No plans have been announced for what will occupy the location after the closure.
