Local Shell gas station closes

Update:

We have just been informed that the future of a gas station at the 15th Ave NW and NW 70th St location is still unknown. Previous gas station employee Tom confirmed the bankruptcy and that the future of the property is in the hands of the bank.

“We heard from the bank a couple of days ago. We still don’t know if someone will invest and make it a gas station or if the bank will sell it and put up a building or something,” said Tom.

We will continue to keep readers updated when more information comes to hand.
