A ceremonial groundbreaking was held on Tuesday for the Murphy Oil gas station to be located in front of the Walmart Supercenter in The Marketplace at Highland Village.
The gas station was first approved with the original 2005 site plan for the shopping center. In March 2015, a replat of the Walmart property was approved separating the lot for the fuel center.
The gas station will be on the south side of the Walmart parking lot facing FM 407.
Expected to open in late May or early June, the gas station will have 16 pumps, a convenience store with soda and coffee. All building materials will be purchased from Texas manufacturers, according to Highland Village officials.
