Valvoline Instant Oil Change, the nation's second biggest chain of drive-thru oil change and automotive maintenance centers behind Houston-based Jiffy Lube, has inked deals for the first company-owned locations in the Houston market. Lexington, Ky.-based Valvoline has secured sites in Grand Parkway Marketplace II, a regional shopping center at Kuykendahl Road and the Grand Parkway in Spring near The Woodlands, and at Texas 96 and South Shore Boulevard in League City for its initial locations, according to the Weitzman real estate firm. Valvoline, a motor oil brand that dates to 1866, has operated a plant in Deer Park for 35 years but has not had a big retail presence locally.
