A small retail kiosk is planned at 7601-15 Frankford Avenue in the Holmesburg section of Northeast Philadelphia. The proposal introduces a compact one-story structure, according to an issued zoning permit. Nicks General Construction is listed as the contractor.

Permit documents specify the construction of a detached, single-story structure measuring 170 square feet, situated on a large CMX 2.5 commercial parcel. The structure will be placed on the paved forecourt of an active gas station and is approved for food and beverage sales. The filing confirms that no excavation deeper than five feet will occur.

Plans show a footprint of approximately ten-and-a-half feet by 16 feet. The kiosk will sit near the southwest portion of the property facing Frankford Avenue, which is confirmed as the primary frontage by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission. Elevations depict a simple shed design with horizontal siding, a single door on one side elevation, and a sliding window centered on the front wall. The building height will stand eight feet tall.

Zoning data notes that the lot spans 11,070 square feet with 121 feet of frontage along Frankford Avenue. The proposal conforms to all CMX 2.5 requirements, including setbacks, open space, building coverage, and maximum height. The accessory structure occupies 2% of the parcel, and both required side setbacks of zero feet are met. Landscaping and parking screening requirements do not apply for this scope of work.

Although modest in scale, the kiosk adds a new retail component along a heavily traveled commercial corridor and supplements the existing service station with an additional neighborhood-facing use.
