The island’s only gas station is getting a fresh fill-up. Palm Beacher and chef Gabrielle Coniglio is working with fellow local and developer Alex Griswold to bring Gab’s Organics to the historic Sunoco station in the heart of Palm Beach, with fuel pumps reopening this month and the market expected this winter.
For the culinary component of this new venture, dubbed Palm Petrol, Coniglio wants to rethink gas station food, be it morning coffee on your commute, after-school snacks, or beach-picnic provisions. Her vision pairs the nostalgia of the island institution and the convenience of the traditional roadside pit stop with organic ingredients, thoughtful sourcing, and chef-driven recipes. Upon reintroduction, expect the familiar Sunoco to begin a decidedly healthier next chapter—without sacrificing its old-school Palm Beach charm.
