Weigel’s Chief Executive Bill Weigel on Wednesday surveyed his company’s newest convenience store in Chattanooga and noted the Polymer Road site also has a dedicated diesel fuel center for trucks.
“We include this whenever we can,” he said about the diesel pumps, which are in addition to the array of gasoline dispensing stations lining the front of the new store near Highway 153 and Shallowford Road.
The Powell, Tennessee, company’s CEO said in an interview at the site’s grand opening, Weigel’s second in Chattanooga, that he expects another diesel center to go up in the city with a store on Amnicola Highway.
But, he said, there’s at least a couple of more typical convenience stores slated to go up before that unit is constructed.
Weigel said earlier that he hopes to have 15 locations in the Chattanooga area as the company expands in Southeast Tennessee in a major way.
