Marathon definately. We have a ton of those here in Michigan and I can't add them to my Detroit area re-creation.

    Wow, I guess that really got this thread going. I suppose gas stations may be something for me to dive into a little bit more. Not saying I'll make all these brands, but I appreciate you folks letting me know. I'll be focusing on making pumps before any buildings at this time.

    What about Safeway, Sam Club, HEB, Kmart Express, and I’m sure I’m missing more.

    @brad88 You are very welcome. Kmart Express is no longer operating, so I thought I'd give it a go to let it live on here.

    I'm sure a Meijer will be made by someone at some point. (wink-wink)

    @RRetail just out of curiosity, I thought Wal*mart had a different brand name for their gas rather than "Wal*Mart"

    @Evanjs is correct, though Murphy USA is not the same company as Walmart.

    Giant, GetGo and Sam's Club join the party....   Progress is slow because these can take 10 tries or more to export/render correctly.

    I'd love to see a HEB like this one.

    Heck even Kroger, Safeway and Walmart all have them like this.

    While that's a neat suggestion, HEB has been added but it will not be a  truckstop format like that. I'm using the same general model for these pumps so its easier for me to produce them. I DO NOT plan to remake variants of these pumps as you are suggesting above. It would be way too time consuming to do.

    I wasn't really planning to make this modular as I was going to pair it up with the Kroger store I previously showed. Basically the plan is to make a shopping center from it and another soon to be featured store that was commonly paired with Kroger in many shopping centers.

    I think @pclark06 planned to do a modular plaza? Not saying I won't though.
