Exciting Developments Coming to Augusta with New Parker’s Kitchen Locations!

Hey there, Augusta! We have some pretty exciting news for all you convenience store lovers out there. The popular Parker’s Kitchen chain, known for its high-end gas stations, is planning to set up *not just one*, but *a whopping ten locations* in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). That’s right! Your journey around town may soon be accompanied by the delightful aroma of delicious convenience food and the refreshing sight of gas stations that feel a little more upscale.

What’s Cooking at the Planning Commission?

On the agenda for the upcoming **Augusta Planning Commission meeting**, scheduled for *November 4*, are two significant rezoning requests for Parker’s Kitchen. A Savannah-based firm, EMC Engineering Services, has sent a request to the Augusta planning and zoning department to rezone a property located at 3054 Washington Rd.. Currently, it’s zoned for Neighborhood Business (B-1) and the goal is to switch it to General Business (B-2). This spot is right at the intersection of *Washington Road and Tremont Way* and, in its place, Parker’s Kitchen aims to demolish the existing *Burger King* structure and create its brand-new convenience store along with a parking lot.

But that’s not all! Another engineering firm, Kimley-Horn, is also getting in on the action. They’ve sent in requests to rezone two undeveloped parcels—*2311 Windsor Spring Rd.* and *3221 Richmond Hill Rd.*—also changing the zoning from B-1 to B-2. When combined, these two properties total nearly five acres and are located at a bustling intersection. Just imagine, a sleek new Parker’s Kitchen could be popping up there soon!

Why the Hype Over Parker’s Kitchen?

So, why all this buzz about Parker’s Kitchen? Well, it’s not just your average gas station. Designed to offer a delightful experience for motorists, Parker’s Kitchen goes beyond what you might expect from traditional convenience stores. Their meals are freshly prepared, making it a great spot to grab a quick bite on the go. Plus, their locations are known for their friendly atmosphere and cleanliness—a breath of fresh air for anyone needing to refuel, both their vehicle and themselves!

Current and Upcoming Locations

The excitement doesn’t stop with just these two proposed locations; they are also in the works for several new stops throughout Columbia County! In fact, the first Augusta location already opened just this past June and has been met with great enthusiasm from locals. With more spots expected to pop up, it’s safe to say that the convenience and quality offered by Parker’s Kitchen might just become a favorite for many Augusta residents.

What’s Next for Augusta?

The Augusta Planning Commission meeting on *November 4* is certainly going to be one to keep an eye on. With both rezoning requests officially submitted, the commission will consider how best to proceed. If approved, we can look forward to not only some fresh eats but also modern service stations that could enhance our community’s driving experience.

As the city continues to grow and embrace new businesses, Parker’s Kitchen stepping into the Augusta scene shows the kind of positive transformation we can expect in our area. So, buckle up, Augusta! Things are just getting started, and the road ahead looks deliciously bright!
