Pioneer, a leading financial institution in New York’s Capital Region, today announced it is partnering with USA Gas on a $4 million project to construct a new shared building in Clifton Park, NY. The new building on the corner of Fire Road and Route 146 will combine a redeveloped 5,000-square-foot USA Gas station and convenience store with a new 3,000-square-foot, full-service Pioneer branch.
Located just off the I-87 Exit 9 northbound ramp, the new Pioneer branch will include an Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) for extended-hours banking, private offices for consultations, and access to personal and business banking services. USA Gas will operate a convenience store offering fresh food, beverages and grocery items and a six-pump fueling station, with dedicated parking for banking and gas station customers. The new building is expected to open by early 2026.
“This new branch reflects our broader strategy of investing in the communities we serve by co-locating with complementary businesses,” said Tom Amell, President and CEO of Pioneer. “By integrating financial resources into convenient, everyday destinations, we’re making it easier for customers to access the services they need.”
Construction at the redevelopment site is led by local owner and operator Erin Ozbay, through 4 Fire Road Clifton Park LLC. In early June, Pioneer provided a $3.9 million building loan to support the project.
“I’m incredibly excited to work with a strong partner like Pioneer on this project, and to offer local residents a fast and convenient experience, from fueling up and grabbing fresh food or craft beer to banking, all in one place,” said Ozbay.
The new location highlights Pioneer’s continued commitment to serving the Clifton Park area and providing local, customer-focused banking services. Pioneer’s current branch at 843 Route 146 will remain open and operating as usual throughout the construction process. Once construction is complete, operations will transition to the new location with no interruption in service to customers.
