LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The chain some are calling "the king of convenience stores" could be coming to southern Indiana.

Clarksville's Board of Zoning Appeals has granted Wawa a use variance. That allows a business to use a property for something other than zoning rules allow.

Renderings shared by a town council member show potential plans to bring the business to a busy stretch of Veteran's Parkway, near I-65.

The location is the former site Red Robin, in the same plaza with Lowe's and Chick-fil-A.

The gas station and convenience store chain started on the east coast and has a cult-like following.

Once Wawa submits an official development plan, it's up to the town's planning commission to approve the project.
