Plans are afoot to build a gas station on Centerline Road.
Developer Guilderoy Sprauve is asking for a zoning change to allow him to build the station and a convenience store on land which used to be the home of a concrete plant and is now home to Love City Home and Garden Center.
Sprauve was quoted by the St. John Source saying everything is in place to move ahead with the project. "We have the funding," he said.
There will be an attendant on duty at the station, even though it will be self service. You'll also be on your own at the C-store. Sprauve apparently intends to install vending machines. He said the store will be "robotic."
Of course a new gas station would be helpful on the island. E&C Service in Cruz Bay is the only place to gas up now; the Dominio station in Coral Bay is still closed with no word when, or if it will reopen.

In reality there ought to be a mandate that there be a gas station in Coral bay, ever since Domino shut down its such a pain. The new center line station would be better than nothing, at leat you wouldn’t have to deal with the E&C traffic and logistics of getting there.

It would actually be nice to create a few jobs…..
Please have people running the store. Nice people, friendly people, people who know our island and appreciate tourists.
I agree…I am sure there are a few folks on the island looking for work! A friendly human smile is worth more than the novelty of a vending machine which will end up broken…and then how long would it take for a repair?? Doesn’t make much sense!
A gas station business is a great investment. As you establish your gas station venture, you must educate yourself with the essentials of making your business expand and last.
