More than three months after a truck wiped out a pump and the big price sign at Leaders Sunoco in Chadds Ford, crews are finally getting ready to install a new sign.
A work crew from Pro Signs began the work to install the footers on Thursday, March 24 and that work continued into Friday. Once the site is inspected, the posts can be cemented into place. What’s left uncertain about this work is when the replacement sign will arrive. According to Dan Leader, the sign might show up in April or May.
Leader also offered a glimmer of hope about when the station will be pumping gas again. All the pumps were ruined in the Sept. 1 flood. New pumps had been ordered and have been in Aston for at least a month. He said the pumps could arrive as early as this weekend. And once they’re installed and the connection between them and the point of sale is set up, gasoline can flow again, he said.
