WICHITA — It’s still not certain that Dillons is adding a fueling center at its store at 21st and Amidon.
Last month, Have You Heard? reported when the company knocked down the former Twin Lakes Liquor building.
Dillons employees were telling customers a gas station was coming, but company spokeswoman Sheila Lowrie wasn’t available for comment.
Now she is, but she still can’t confirm what’s happening. As soon as she can, she says, we’ll be the first ones she tells.
WICHITA — Officially, Dillons is mum about whether it’s putting a fueling center at its store at 21st and Amidon.
Unofficially, employees are telling customers it’s coming.
The former Twin Lakes Liquor store, which was on the corner in front of the store, was demolished this week.
About this time last year, after the liquor store had been closed for a while, shoppers started wondering if a gas station might be coming.
At the time, Dillons spokeswoman Sheila Lowrie said, “I can tell you that we’re always exploring options when it comes to how we can expand fuel for our customers because it’s something they tell us they enjoy about shopping with us, but unfortunately at this time I would be unable to confirm future plans for that location.”
Lowrie is out this week, and a Dillons representative says no one else is authorized to speak on behalf of the company.
No one else may be authorized, but that’s not stopping employees at the store from freely discussing it with customers.
We’ll check with Lowrie to officially confirm next week.
WICHITA — With all the new activity at 21st and Amidon, people are wondering if Dillons is ever going to put a gas station where Twin Lakes Liquor used to be.
The building still stands, and there’s no sign of any activity.
Dillons spokeswoman Sheila Lowrie won’t say if a gas station is a possibility.
“I can tell you that we’re always exploring options when it comes to how we can expand fuel for our customers because it’s something they tell us they enjoy about shopping with us, but unfortunately at this time I would be unable to confirm future plans for that location.”
