About a year and a half after getting a site plan change approved by the county, Valvoline Instant Oil Change is beginning to break ground for a new facility on the former site of a Chevron gas station at Roswell Road and Johnson Ferry Road.
Crews have been digging up what’s left of the Chevron pavement in the northwest corner of one of East Cobb’s busiest intersections and we noticed this sign for the first time on Friday.
As we reported last year, Valvoline needed to run a site plan amendment by Cobb commissioners to convert the 0.95-acre tract into a three-bay oil change facility totalling 2,088 square feet.
Plans call for a landscaping plan and 15 parking spaces, and access will be right-in and right-out only on Roswell Road westbound.
The Chevron station that opened in the 1970s closed in late 2020, and was demolished in early 2021. The property has sat largely untouched ever since.
The Valvoline filings and county property tax records indicate that the two parcels making up the 0.95 acres have a combined appraised value of $822,240.
The owner one of those tracts, Ruth McLaughlin, the former Chevron owner, also owns 0.71 acres directly behind it that’s valued at $1.24 million.
