Redwood Oil Company, the family-owned operator of the Point Reyes Station gas station, has sold all but one of its 24 Northern California convenience store locations to Jacksons Food Stores, a fast-growing chain based in Idaho. It did not sell the Point Reyes Station location, which owner Julie Van Alyea told the Light she intends to keep. The gas station and convenience store have been a flashpoint in recent years, after the county approved plans for a major redevelopment. The project will replace the 200-square-foot cashier’s stand with a 1,700-square-foot convenience store and five apartments, including two affordable units. The village association appealed the project’s approval, arguing the expanded store would increase traffic at already crowded intersections and that new food offerings would siphon business from existing shops. Parents voiced concerns about tobacco and vaping sales, while others feared the impact of gas fumes on future tenants. At a hearing before the California Coastal Commission last winter, Ms. Van Alyea defended the project, describing it as striking “a wonderful balance between progress and preservation. Point Reyes Station is a very special place, and I am committed to preserving that which makes it most special.” Founded in the 1970s by Peter Van Alyea, Redwood Oil is now led by Ms. Van Alyea, his daughter, who lives in Kentfield. With the deal, Jacksons Food Stores, which operates more than 300 stores in seven states, is nearly doubling its California presence, from 30 to 54 locations.
