MIDDLETOWN — The former Circus liquor store on Route 35 here has been turned into Jep’s Xpress, a fictional truck stop offering gasoline, a free shower and $1 hot dogs, to serve as the setting of a Netflix series starring Adam Driver.
The convenience store built for “Rabbit, Rabbit,” is so life-like that motorists on quick glance wondered if Buc-ee’s, the truck stop known for its pristine bathrooms and fine cuisine, had somehow decided to open in Middletown. The logos have similar yellow backdrops, but Jep’s mascot is a bluebird, while Buc-ee’s features a smiling beaver wearing a baseball cap.
