Ralphs grocery store is considering establishing a 12-pump gas station on Los Osos Valley Road. The proposal is in preliminary stages, requiring community advisory council discussions and county permits.

Bruce Gibson, District 2 Supervisor, noted the land previously hosted a gas station, potentially easing approvals, but all current standards and environmental assessments must be met. Currently, gas prices in Los Osos are $4.59 at Shell and $4.99 at Chevron, while Ralphs operates 13 gas stations in California, with prices at $4.19 in Orange.
