Harrisburg Council OKs convenience store project on Herr Street

The site of the proposed convenience store

Harrisburg City Council has approved a land use plan for a new gas station and convenience store near the city line, allowing the project to proceed.

On Tuesday, council voted unanimously to approve the land development plan for the project, located on the 1900-block of Herr Street.

Nirmal Singh Gill and Mohinder Kaur Gill with Mechanicsburg-based M&N, Inc., plan to build a 2,400-square-foot convenience store, with four gas pumps, on the site that currently houses a diner and a smaller convenience store.

Council members weighed the project last week during a work session, asking specifically about security and safety improvements in the area. On Tuesday, members offered no additional comment before voting.

Aman has said that the new convenience store would also offer hot food and beer, with indoor seating. They are considering keeping it open 24 hours, as well.

Aman previously told TheBurg that someone had purchased the diner, which last operated as Harry’s Bistro and, before that, the American Dream Diner. However, he didn’t know whether the diner would be removed in time before site demolition began.
