What's the deal with the unfinished gas station at Welsh and Holleman? Construction seems to have completely stalled out and I can't find anything on it, not on TDLR Tabs, not on New Development. They've been working on it for at least a year.

There must either be a lack of equipment for convenience stores or lack of money by the owners. The remodel of the station on the NE corner of Hwy 30 and Hwy 6 must have taken more than two years to remodel and reopen. The may be waiting on city inspectors at each stage of construction. It's going to be a great improvement from the one that was there.PS3D said:

2 years is a little exaggeration. Garpez was still there until the end of October 2022 and the Store reopened Dec 2023woodiewood said:The remodel of the station on the NE corner of Hwy 30 and Hwy 6 must have taken more than two years to remodel and reopen.PS3D said:

It's not even close to being done. I remember the 7-Eleven there at Holleman and 2818 was mostly completed for like six months (sign up, interior at least partially finished) before Stripes went in and finished it off.woodiewood said:There must either be a lack of equipment for convenience storesPS3D said:

The TXB on WMJ across from the post office finished in no time even with all the road work going on over there.

Valero contract hold up. Will start again soon.

That was related to
Chicks being sued by buccees and the dissolution of a partnership, stripes buying that store was part of the old chicks store on 2818 being part of the deal.
The signage for A&M Xpress was complete by 2014; by that time the Chicks deal was a done deal, operating as Stripes for months (it was on Highway 6, not 2818). It had nothing to do with that. I believe from what I heard the owner ran out of money, though they had filed a taxpayer/business entry and everything.Trout said:PS3D said:It's not even close to being done.

That being said, the Stripes/7-Eleven at Highway 40 and Wellborn was planned as a Chicks, though they sold a few years before it actually broke ground.

The one at 40 was also part of the deal. It was a combination of fuel contacts and ownerships at all 3. I won't go into it. But I'm 100% correct on all accounts. Lots of ins and outs. The one at Holleman and 2818 was under contract with the jobber who also owned Chicks. So selling rights to fuel contract was part of it.

Again, A&M Xpress didn't put up signage until AFTER the Stripes deal was closed. I only know Chicks was to be on Highway 40 because that's what New Development said. Nothing about Chicks for the 2818 station. For what it's worth, the group that owned A&M Xpress currently operates Cole Stop (Shell) out on Highway 30.
I'm not saying you're wrong but there are discrepancies, and this isn't the first time that someone has shown up on TexAgs and makes some audacious claim that surely can be found on a publicly accessible paper trail or tax document then refuses to give any proof of what they claim happened.
2818 was never going to be chicks. I said the guy who owned chicks was also the exxon jobber there.
I'm not that worried about it really.

Looks like the answer is here .
For people thinking it was a funding/money issue very few GCs if any will start a commercial job without knowing for sure the money is there to finish it.
It looks like construction has resumed.
