Octo Fuel

The Octo Fuel project at 898 NE Alsbury Blvd in Burleson is a 3,540 sq ft renovation of an existing convenience store and car wash. The work involves altering the current structure to create two distinct spaces: Space #1 will serve as a convenience store with a kitchen, while Space #2 will become a small restaurant with its own kitchen. This re-design transforms the site into a dual-use commercial facility within Tarrant County.

The project is privately funded and owned by Excellent Family Investments LLC. With an estimated cost of $240,000, the renovation carries a cost of $68 per square foot. This figure is close to the Tarrant County median of $79 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings. The total estimated cost also sits near the county median of $250,000 for this type of work.
