HANFORD â A decades-old site is getting a new life after a year of planning and renovations. The Irwin Corner Store opened last month in the site of the former Star Mart on 502 N. Irwin St. across from the U.S. Postal Service building. The building, which was built in 1949, is 1,086 square feet in size and is a single story in height. According to store manager Pardeep Singh Lidder, the property was acquired a year ago, but COVID-19 and the need to remodel and renovate the building meant a delay in opening. Singh Lidderâs father, Harjog, also owns a store in Selma and having been born and raised in Hanford, the son said it was the perfect community for their second location.
