The MacEwan Gas Bar on Algonquin Avenue is no more.
The service station near Sobey’s had its gas pumps demolished on Tuesday. Work crews continue with their work on the site today.
It’s a busy area, as just across the street, construction is beginning on the foundation of a new Starbuck’s coffee shop.
The Starbucks is expected to open in early 2019.

However, a new MacEwan Gas Bar is actually under construction further south at the former Dionne Quints and Chamber of Commerce location at the South end of the bypass.

The MacEwan Gas Bar is the second gas bar in the last month to be torn down in the area North of the city, as the Mr. Gas just North of Algonquin Avenue on Highway 11 North has also been torn down and is being rebuilt.
That Mr. Gas is expected to re-open in late October.
