Both this station near the Perfection Club and the West Main Street shell station will be owned by Kurian Anthony of Chicago. The local manager of both stations say the rest of the Rt. 51 station's reimaging signage is expected to arrive today and the new Marathon pumps will be installed by week's end. The shelves and coolers will be restocked and the gas mart could reopen as early as next Monday. The owner says he isn't afraid of competition and says he plans to succeed by keeping gasoline prices lower than than others in the area. Motorists are noticing that difference at the West Main Street Shell.
