This is how the former Rich’s Sunoco service station on Groveport’s Main Street looked prior to its demolition
in the early 21st century. It was one of two downtown service stations that were demolished at
the time, the other gas station (which was a Sohio and later a Marathon) was just beside the Sunoco on
the corner of Main and Front streets. There were once several gas stations in Groveport. There was also
a Shell station on the south side of Main Street at Brook Alley and a Texaco station on the north side of
Main Street near where State Route 317 now passes through town. The gas stations sprouted in the early
to mid-20th century when automobiles became common in town.
