    Question Gas Station Gone?

    Does anyone know why the petro gas station on the corner of korah road and second line is gone? Its like it disappeared overnight. Pumps are all gone,the building is all boarded up.

    Petrocan was historically always the most expensive. I'm surprised it lasted that long, especially with Macs one way, and CTC the other.

    We received a flyer in our mailbox a few weeks ago, informing us of its impending closure. My guess is it was time for them to replace the fuel tanks and it wasn't worth the replacement cost to keep it open.

    Ahh I see. I was just wondering seeing how they were open one day and 2 day later no pumps and boarded up building, they sure did work fast to take everything down.

    Apparently there was gas leaking into the ground and the cost of repair was too high. Easier/cheaper just to close and let them do what they need to do and keep the gas station at the top of the hill. The owner owned both stations for a few yrs now.
    I'm amused by stupid people. It's better than cable and it's FREE!!!
