July 1, 2008New Kroger fuel center coming soonNext week is going to be a busy one for store openings around the Roanoke Valley. Here's another date to put on your calendar. The fuel center at the new Kroger, under construction in the Bonsack area, will open on July 9. This will be the fifth Kroger gasoline center in the Roanoke Valley. It's funny that this fuel center will open before Kroger actually opens its doors. Though the grocer hasn't stated an official store opening date, the fuel center is coming three weeks before the store will debut, according to a news release. Check out my retail column in this Sunday's Business section for updates on other stores that will land at this center, named Kroger Square at Bonsack and located off U.S. 460 in Roanoke County. June 24, 2008Dunkin Donuts brewing at Wilco HessYou now can find Dunkin Donuts coffee in more places than just Dunkin Donuts. This coffee recently started brewing at some local Wilco Hess convenience stores. 
They’re all serving the hot coffee, but the Vinton location also is selling Dunkin Donuts’ iced java and tea. But you’ll still have to go to Dunkin Donuts on Franklin Road in Roanoke for doughnuts. They haven't been added to the Wilco Hess selection.
May 14, 2008Fuel center set for TowersThe options for fueling up along a section of Brandon Avenue in Roanoke could increase. 
The gasoline center's plans haven't yet been reviewed nor approved, according to Danielle Bishop, a city development review coordinator. The plans reveal that customers will be able to turn into this fuel station both from 23rd Street and Brandon Avenue. Crews also are installing a stoplight at this intersection. |
