Gate Petroleum 1210

I like that this is a large gas station and usually has below or at the same price gas prices as around the city. Sometimes I’ve seen it Lower here than at Costco or Sams club. Well lit and in a shopping center. I have never actually been inside the convince store.

This is pretty nice and I have to say built well. I know I was part of the crew that built it. Each store has it’s own stories and so does this one. The place is large and really looks good for its age. The isles are wide open and the there’s plenty of room to move around and shop. This was one of the few stores of the Gate 2000 generation. Named the Star Gate for the shape of it. Oh you wanted to know the story about this store. Ok, the big bosses made a boo boo and ordered the wrong roof decking. Instead of sending it back and then thmain office would find out and not be happy. I mean really what’s a 15 – 20 thousand dollar whoops. So anyway there was no vent holes in the decking. So the cheaper way in to have mark and his crew drill holes. Not a big deal right? How about a 5600 square foot building that requires a hole every 6″ in every direction. For those of you from Rio O Linda that’s about 14,000 holes. On the roof in the middle of summer. It’s really hot and takes a lot of drill bits. Well this is a nice store that is always clean and well stocked with good gas prices.
