WEST FARGO, N.D. -- Petro Serve USA has purchased the West Fargo Truck Stop in North Dakota, reported The West Fargo Pioneer.
"It was kind of the old truckstop," Kent Satrang, Petro Serve CEO and general manager, told the newspaper.
The business, which currently employs seven people, will continue to operate as a Cenex gas station/truckstop, convenience store, lunch counter and propane filling site, Satrang said.
"We will be keeping the same great food," he said. "It does a huge amount of food business over the lunch hour."
Petro Serve plans to install new diesel fuel pumps and is adding NATSN, a loyalty program among independent truckstops that allows drivers to earn points when purchasing fuel, Clark Erickson, Petro Serv chief operating officer, told the paper.
"It won't be an interstate truckstop," said Satrang. "It's more like a neighborhood truckstop."
