What's up at 284 Greenhill rd?

[wll6568]

Does anyone know what's going to be build at 284 Greenhill rd, Glenside? Just drove pass and saw the old Mobil petrol station gone and now they doing site work. It's quite a big block. Saw Bella builder sign there, could it be a new petrol station?

Pretty sure they're putting an OTR there, but don't quote me. I was a little miffed because they tore down some nice old houses to start building it. I might get some pictures soon as I don't live too far from it.

OTR own all the ex-Mobil sites in Adelaide bar 3 of them. They have been buying surrounding blocks, demolishing and building bigger and better. Glen Osmond is one example and the one on the way into Gawler will be up soon as well including the caryard next door

Is this the sites now branded 'Mogas'? I know theres one on Marion Road, the others escape me at the moment. Possibly Upper Sturt?

And technically not all of them. Caltex bought a chunk of them a few months before they started changing to OTR's. Some have since closed completely (Bottom of the hill, South Road comes to mind)

Not sure if i was looking at the correct info but I found on the council website:

...Construction of a new integrated service station complex and bulky goods outlet including fast food drive-thru, signage and associated car parking

So looks like it will have a Hungry Jacks, or planning for Krispy Kreme, with a drive through (I've seen one with a DT in Vic).

It was all but 3 and those three were disallowed by the ACCC. One was at Darlington on South Road, became a Caltex, now closed. One at the backside of Colonnades now a Caltex and recently rebuilt and for the life of me I can't think of the 3rd now.. But it also became a Caltex none of which were Caltex owned, all franchisees. There were a number of local distributors mostly in the country that changed their supply agreement to Mogas in most cases. Mobil only had just under 250 stores around the country but there were a lot of operators with supply arrangements and therefore carrying the Mobil brand.

Oh ok it felt like they took more than 3. Is Aberfoyle Park the other one? I swear I remember that once being a Mobil, but it's a Caltex now.
Ah thanks for clearing that up.

New OTR with Oporto's.

[slenderman]

Well this place has just opened. Grabbed a dollar frozen coke after watching the Crows dish up their usual rubbish. It's a pretty stock standard new OTR. There's a drive through Oporto (duh) plus your usual suspects of Chill, C Coffee and Pie Face. Not sure if it's unique, but there's also a Wendy's in there.

Next door there's a blue and white building that was built along with the OTR. There will be a pet shop in there. Signage for it was up, but it isn't open yet.

Rarer by the day, Slendiggity.
