A Penrith petrol station is going to be out of action for over a week while a major shop refit takes place.
Hills garage on Scotland Road is set to be closed for eight or nine days, as the petrol station’s forecourt cannot be used while work takes place on the Spar shop inside.
Michael Gatty, a director of Hills, said it had been a long time since any work had been done on the shop and it was getting a new floor, new ceiling and new lights. Extra fridges are also set to be installed.
“It should look like a brand new shop inside,” said Mr Gatty.
The petrol station and new-look Spar shop should be back open by November 12 or November 13.
