Marathon-Branded Gas Station and Store to Open at 100 W. Broadway by Year-End

A Marathon gas station and convenience store is slated to open at 100 W. Broadway, the site of a Thorntons station that closed in early 2024, with an opening expected by the end of the year. Yahoo published the report. Marathon Petroleum is the refining and marketing company whose brand appears on the station's signage.

Pumps, Signage and a $2.81 Million Sale

Gas tanks and new pumps have already been installed at the site, and new signage has recently appeared there, said Karan Singh, a real estate agent with 85W Real Estate who represented the site's new owners in a June 2025 transaction. Deed records show 100 Broadway LLC bought the property in mid-2025 for $2.81 million. The LLC's registered agent is Gursewak Singh, and its address is 3301 Newburg Road, the site of a BP gas station.

An Indianapolis-based group that owns many other gas stations purchased the property, Karan Singh said, declining to identify the group. One of the group's team members is based in Louisville and will handle operations, he added.

"They're renovating the whole property, so it'll be a whole new look," Karan Singh said. "They're coming with new concepts for food and are keeping (Jefferson Community & Technical College) and the students in mind. I think it'll be a nice little place for students to stop by."
