A Route 58 eyesore came down today.
The long-abandoned gas station on the southeast corner of Route 58 and Ostrander Avenue was demolished to make way for a new one being built for BJ’s Wholesale Club.
BJ’s, which has a retail warehouse on Route 58 east of the gas station site, operates about 120 gas stations, a company representative told the town planning board last year. BJ’s gas stations serve club members only, according to the company’s website.
The new station will consist of four fuel pumps, a 2,628-square-foot fueling, a 165-square-foot attendant kiosk and restroom and an air station, according to a site plan presented to the board on behalf of the company.
