RaceTrac To Open Remodeled Store At U.S. 441 And Hog Mountain Road By End Of Year

The remodeling of the RaceTrac store at the corner of Hog Mountain Road and U.S. 441 north of Watkinsville is in the final stages and should be completed by the end of the month, according to Karissa Bursch, communications manager for the the Atlanta-based company.

The new store will have a more modern store layout that includes updated building architecture, a new Swirl World frozen treat station, an expanded coffee area with more counter space, according to Bursch.

Plans filed with the Oconee County Planning Department show an outdoor patio with picnic tables on the south side of the station, and workers were busy with that part of the $590,000 remodeling project today (Saturday).

The county issued a building permit for complete remodeling of the store on Oct. 17. The permit application had estimated the project would have been completed by Nov. 15.
