| Construction on the new Go-Mart in Webster Springs progresses despite the recent cold weather. |
The new Go-Mart on Baker's Island in Webster Springs is expected to open its doors and gas pumps for business around the first week in February, 2013, according to Go-Mart General Manager Paul Gaughan.
In a brief interview with the Commentator on November 29, 2012, Gaughan provided more details about the new store. The store will have 10 gas pumps, offering three grades of gasoline as well as diesel fuel. Dispelling rumors, Gaughan said the store will not offer kerosene fuel.
The store is twice as large as the present Go-Mart store on Main Street. The current store will be closed, with no plans at this time for its future.
The new Go-Mart will continue to offer PiZZA PRiMO! products, but will not include the Sub Express foods. The store will offer its own food service, such as fried chicken, and hot and cold sandwiches, as well as a breakfast menu. Inside seating will allow customers to eat their foods on the spot. A "beer cave" will also be featured in the store, which is a walk-in cooler that will keep all beer products cold, rather than the warm beer that is usually stocked in aisles. And, yes, there will be public bathrooms in the store.
Gaughan hopes that the new store will have more employees than the current store depending on how much business it attracts.
Have you considered taking this to print; hiring real journalists (other than yourself) so this area could have a real newspaper? You're doing a good job.
