March 4, 2012: Wendy's and Chester's Chicken.
Original Post
But, in the big scheme of things, Williston is a) a small town; and, b) has no interstate highways.
And yet Love's is coming to Williston.
Data points:
- To be built this year; to be open later this year (2012)
- 10,000 square-foot facility with a national fast food restaurant (
Subway? McDonald's?Wendy's and Chester's Chicken, announced March 4, 2012) - Eight gasoline islands
- Eight diesel fuel dispensers
- 100 truck parking spaces; a 400-unit electrified truck parking area
- A convenience store
- On US Highway 85 just north of Williams County Road 6 between the Target Logistics man camp and Fox Run RV Park
- Will be near where the new truck bypass re-enters US-85
- Adjacent to the new Western Area Water Depot (WAWS)
This is something Williston and Williams county desperately needed! A huge truckstop to accomodate all the semi's that cannot find a place to overnight. Hopefully this will diminish the lines of semi's parked and idling up and town city streets overnight.
ReplyDeleteSince you are posting about LOVE's truckstop that will be located out north of town (Bakken Industrail park area)...her is an interesting article on Value Place hotels announcing they are build a total of 4 Value Place hotels in Williston. 2 currently under construction out near where the Love's truckstop is going, and 2 more (I believe they are going into the Sand Creek Retail Center that is breaking ground this spring). Here is the link below.

Wow, I was unaware of that. Huge. I need to get back to the Bakken. It's moving too fast.
ReplyDeleteAny Loves is a BIG DEAL! They have the best gas stations in the country. Love their bathrooms and awesome (okay, quirky) merchandise. Plus, if you count all the stuff/square feet, you could say your town just got a whole lot bigger! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you are correct.
