MiniBic for $1.25 at the first counter.
As best I can recall, this Shell station appeared on the horizon off 255 sometime in the 1990s. At the time, it was the only business (and building) off that exit. All of the surrounding area was farmland. Around the bend, we had a creepy railroad crossing.
Now, the area still appears rural, but only in comparison to the rest of Columbia. I never would have imagined a mini-casino in an office complex being nextdoor.
It's a great location for a gas station ⛽ , and it sparked a ton of growth in the area.
By the way, the railroad crossing is still creepy.
