The old BP gas station that has been vacant for a number of years is finally gone and that lot will be developed to make room for a new business. Express Oil Change LLC began the steps to construct a new facility earlier this week by getting the paperwork in order, demolishing the old BP gas station and getting construction underway. “We’re hoping to open June 17,” Fuad Hassan, local Express Oil Change franchisee, said.

“I am very excited (to become an employer),” Hassan said.
