Original Post

In the big scheme of things, this may not be that big a story.

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)

Little-by-little the Bakken infrastructure is coming together. Chaos is self-organizing.
