I've seen a few new stations now with above ground tanks, which is mandatory if you have a high water table or are near the beach, problem is, it doubles the space needed, all big $$$$.

My post above about the new unknown brand site is being built on the old Shell depot grounds, which have been vacant for about 15 years.
