Signage for Carl's Jr and 7-Eleven installed at new Wodonga service centre

Signage for the new 7-Eleven petrol station and Carl's Jr burger restaurant, at the former Murray Valley Motel site on Melbourne Road in Wodonga, was craned in on Monday, September 25.

Sydney-based Spectrum Retail Group, which is behind the $18.5 million development, said the site, that also includes Portuguese chicken franchise Oporto and drive-through beverage retailer Fast Lane Coffee, will be opened in stages.

"It will be staggered across the month of October," development director Youil Adam said.

"Some of the tenants are more advanced than others with their fit-outs."

By the end of October, Mr Adam expected 7-Eleven, Carl's Jr and Fast Lane Coffee to be trading, while Oporto should serve its first customers in November.

Spectrum Retail Group is also in the process of opening a 7-Eleven petrol station on Urana Road in Lavington.

When both service stations are completed, the Border will boast four 7-Elevens, with the first opened on Anzac Parade in Wodonga in 2021, followed by a second on High Street late in 2022.

Carl's Jr, Oporto and Fast Lane Coffee will be firsts for the Border region.
