Downtown Chevron station being remodeled

The classic car was hoisted up onto the second floor, where it will sit in the window, visible to all those who pass by. The Chevron store is being remodeled and expanded from 500 square feet to 3,000 square feet. When the project is complete in September, the new store will feature an expanded beer cooler, ice giveaways and a wide range of T-shirts and souvenirs. There will be a 1,500 square foot office on top, and the exterior of the building will be decorated with a mural and a waterfall, said Hill.
