Cobb Commissioner Jerica Richardson recently dedicated a new park-style bench in honor of the former owner of a popular Chevron gas station in East Cobb.
Her office on Wednesday released the accompanying photos and information about a celebration last week for Cicero Leonard “Lyn” Powell, who owned the Chevron station at the northwest intersection of Roswell and Johnson Ferry roads.
It’s now the site of a Valvoline oil change shop that recently opened, and the bench is located on the southbound Johnson Ferry side.
According to Richardson’s office, “this tribute recognizes his hard work, kindness, and the positive impact he’s made in our community. His customers shared how Lyn’s station was more than just a business; it was a cornerstone of the community.
“We also want to extend a special thank you to Valvoline for generously sponsoring the bench.”
The Chevron station that opened in the 1970s closed in late 2020, and was demolished in early 2021. Commissioners approved a site plan amendment in 2022 to permit the oil change business.
