FAIRHOPE, Ala. City leaders in Fairhope have given the green light to Murphy USA to not only open a new gas station on State Highway 181 near State Highway 104 in between two other gas stations, but they have also approved the company to open a second location in Fairhope on Greeno Road at the Shoppes at Pt. Clear.

Both of these locations are anchored by a Publix grocery store.

‘Publix grocery stores already anchor each shopping center.

The city’s Board of Adjustments gave its conditional approval which means that some of the details have not been finalized such as landscaping, drainage, signage, and other specifications.

These stations will be larger in size than the older, existing one in front of the Walmart on Hwy 181, according to the company’s engineer; each new station will have 8 pumps.

Construction dates have not been announced and final approvals by the planning commission still needs final approval.
