The Giant grocery-store group is planning to add some gas pumps at its State College location along North Atherton Street, Ferguson Township planning director Trisha Lang said.
A fueling island to accompany the store, at 255 Northland Center, is expected to take shape in a northeast portion of the shopping center, just off Atherton Street, Lang said. Giant stores elsewhere often sell fuel as part of their regular operations.
A call to Giant’s offices was not immediately returned Monday, but Lang confirmed that a fueling station is a permitted land use under the township zoning at the site. It was not clear when construction for the project may begin.
