A new Take 5 in Biddeford, Maine is being planned to open in what was previously an abandoned convenience store after much discussion among city planners.

A new Take 5 in Biddeford, Maine is being planned to open in what was previously an abandoned convenience store, Portland Press Herald reports.

C.N. Brown owns the 394 Elm St. property with an estimated value of $663,000 and a building structure dating back to 1986. He has sought preliminary site approval to begin constructing a two-bay Take 5 Maine on the property.

The construction plans given to the city’s planning board outlined demolishing the current structure and building a 1,000-square-foot “triangular” facility in its stead, as well as removing a large portion of the surrounding parking lot.

This wasn’t the first time the board has heard plans for Take 5 Maine. It was originally tabled in January when the board was concerned about “the four existing curb cuts” and lines of cars going in interfering with traffic. The board was told “that both concerns had been resolved” this month.

The preliminary approval, as well as a waiver to cut the parking spots down from 10 to five, was approved unanimously, with final approval expected on April 19.
