Garvis Sams, the Marietta attorney who represented Kroger, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday that his client only needs to submit the construction plans and permits. The gas station will be like all the others, so he doesn’t expect any problem.

Commissioners approved the plan at their June 19 meeting.

It will have seven fueling stations and be open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.
