On Wednesday, September 16, 2026 Rusty Lantern Markets opened its doors to another convenience store in Waterville, Maine today. Located at 224 Main Street, this is the 33rd location for the Maine-based chain, and the second store in Waterville.
The new store features a full open kitchen, lodge-like indoor and outdoor seating, an indoor/outdoor fireplace, large touchless restrooms, and an open floor plan. Product selections include a variety of fresh, made-to-order food and specialty beverages, Maine-made and national convenience items, local craft beer and snacks.
There’s online ordering for pickup and delivery, and a generous loyalty program with cash-value discounts, discounts on favorite food and beverage items, and much more!
Open 24 hours, the location also features Irving Oil’s top tier fuels – all three grades of gasoline and diesel. The forecourt is brightly lit, provides easy access to the pumps and the store, and offers ample parking for guests.
The store will hold a Grand Opening Celebration September 17-19.
