Last week we reported on the removal of the fuel tanks at the former Exxon station at 701 Fayette Street and its future as a medical marijuana dispensary.

We can now share that the 701 Fayette Street property has been vacated by the current owner and operator of the service station Bill Ivens. Ivens has moved his service station to Joe’s Garage & Salvage located off West 6th Avenue off an alley. He can still be reached at (610) 828-9573.

We have also learned that the medical marijuana dispensary, which has the property under agreement, is on schedule to be approved in December by the state. Once that approval is secured, the projected timeline to have the dispensary open is six months. The dispensary would operate within the footprint of the existing building, which would be renovated.

More to come.
