Demolition Begins on Chapel Hill Gas Station Featuring Dean Smith Mural

Posted Apr 17, 2025
Workers have begun the process of demolishing a Chapel Hill gas station that was home to a mural of the late UNC basketball coach Dean Smith. A future location for a similar mural has yet to be decided on. The gas station, located at 1950 U.S. Highway 15-501 North, was formerly a Cruizers location before the brand was purchased by Refuel.
