The Laie gas station will begin construction and residents will soon see more changes at the Laie Shopping Center.
"Construction on the co-branded Aloha Petroleum and Foodland Supermarkets gas station in Laie will begin shortly," said Aloha's president and chief executive officer, Richard Parry.
"Over the next several days our team will put up dust fencing around the gas station site, and mobilize equipment and construction materials," added Parry.
The center recently underwent work to reconfigure the shopping center entrance and divider islands, and create 33 new parking stalls. That phase of construction followed the demolition of the building that housed the relocated L&L's Hawaiian Barbeque.

The reconfiguration makes way for the new, co-branded Aloha Petroleum and Foodland gas station.
As previously announced, once building begins Aloha expects the construction of the station to take about four months to complete.

The new gas station will have four fuel dispensers with eight fueling spots - including regular, plus, super, ethanol free and diesel fuel - and an 850 square-foot kiosk housing a convenience store.
Foodland customers will be able to enjoy a fuel discount at the new station when they present their Maika'i card, and participate in other gas promotions throughout the year for even greater savings.
