Busch station re-opens at Palouse

Busch Distributors gas station reopened in Palouse Sept. 22 after expansion work took a week to 10 days longer than expected, mainly due to delayed arrival of the new, built-to-order tank.

All that remains now is to add some signage and labeling.

The former cardreader station on Mill Street was demolished after the Fourth of July and replaced with the new tank, new gas pumps, a new island and two new types of fuel for sale.

The Palouse site's new, double-walled, steel fuel tank is underground. The original was pulled up and sold.

The island and new pumps allows four vehicles to use the Palouse station at once instead of the current two, with customers using built-in cardreaders on the pumps.
