Those were the plans submitted by a firm associated with Newark-based Paramount Assets that hopes to bring a fourth Wawa to Essex County, JerseyDigs reports.

The firm -- 164 Main, LLC -- applied for a 5,051-square-foot convenience store and 44-parking spot gas station at 164 Main Street in Orange, the report says.

The new development would replace the 1.4-acre Orange Commons Shopping Center between Windsor Place and Hickory Street, near the NJ Transit station.

The City Planning Board will hear the application Oct. 28.
