Cranford Considers Shell Station, Dunkin' Donuts

CRANFORD, NJ - Last month WaWa was approved, and a new Shell Station/Dunkin' Donuts may not be far behind. The Cranford Zoning Board listened to part of a pitch to redevelop the gas station at 49 South Avenue West on Monday, with additional testimony to come next month.

The proposal from the applicant includes not only a gas station with three gas pumps but a Dunkin' Donuts that would include a drive-thu. The proposed drive-thru would have a two-lane queue that could hold more than a dozen cars. The interior of the building would have no seating, nor would there be any seating outdoors. There would be a counter inside to serve walk-in customers. The building is estimated to be around 1,000 square feet.

According to the applicant, the hours of operation would be 5 a.m. to 11 p.m and there would also be a backup generator on the property that would allow the gas station to remain open should Cranford lose power.

More testimony has been scheduled for the next Zoning Board meeting, scheduled for Monday, June 10.
