The former Shell station with non-functioning fuel pumps at the corner of John Wayne Parkway and Garvey Avenue underwent a transformation this week.
Fuel dispensers were removed, and the canopy and signage switched to Chevron by Signs Plus in Phoenix. The Maricopa Shell LLC property also includes Dairy Queen.
Owners had submitted applications for the improvements last year. It was granted a commercial alteration permit in January to re-install fuel dispensers and a sign permit in February.
The limited liability company is owned by Madanial J. Patel and Harshad Patel Ratnakalabahen of Scottsdale.
