PLAIN CITY — The Chevron station will soon become a Maverik store instead and the fast-food restaurant Boone’s will no longer exist, says a planning commissioner.

Once the gas station/store becomes a Maverik, it will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, says Planning Commissioner Blake Neil.

He said there is nothing in city ordinances that prevent it from operating at all hours.

“Maverik’s got a real good presence, but some are not too excited to lose Boone’s,” said Mayor Jay Jenkins.

That address would put the restaurant in front of the Layton Hills Mall. However, mall officials are tight-lipped about the possibility of a new restaurant.

OGDEN — An Ogden restaurant that came under scrutiny for possible food poisoning has received a clean bill of health from the Weber-Morgan Health Department, the owner said Thursday.

Blake Hawkins, who owns Hug-Hes Cafe, 4387 Harrison Blvd., said tests showed 20 people who reported becoming ill last month after eating food from his restaurant were infected by a norovirus, a common virus easily transmitted from person to person.

“They did find the norovirus, but they didn’t find any problems with our food,” Hawkins said of the health department.
