Look at it this way - you'll now be able to get your burner phone and all the CDB products you could want once they convert over. Oh, and possibly even rent a U-Haul.
But that's the thing--there's no space! The parking lot at Springfield is crowded as is, and Westmont is even worse. That's why I was wondering what the charm is about these locations.

The Gretna location was rebranded yesterday when I got home. There is a banner across the front of the store an the sign on the pole near the street has been changed.
For the record  NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER    !!!!!!!

Awesome! And the takeover has begun! With the medical marijuana deal passing, it won't be long before it's fully legal... these places will really start rockin' and rollin' (pun intended).

The old Sinclair on Millard Ave next to Popeyes has been demolished. Land is owned by Mega Saver.

PERFECT! That corner is notorious for car accidents already... this should fix everything! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, not that the previous gas station was a great setup, but it's a terrible location to try and have high traffic counts coming in and out of a parking lot.

That Millard Ave. Sinclair likely dates back 60 years to the opening of the Western Electric factory; it was a great location for them until Millard Avenue traffic necessitated the median that limited access into the lot. The family that ran that station were really great people.

Doesn't really fit into Mega's niche--these are, as far as I know, their smallest locations. Huh.
I don't lknow if it was from recent high winds or something else, but a lot of the Mega Saver branding that was put up at these Pit Stop locations is gone now. Much of it was just sheeting stretched over the old Pit Stop branding.

Sounds awesome... something to look forward to; they're like the Club180 of gas stations. That place went into Two Fine Irishmen and the old sign still remains installed. Worry about taking over the business first; we'll fix the sign (maybe) later. Oh, and turn any car washes on the property into storage space.

While in town this weekend, I was speaking to a cashier at a K&G who mentioned that Mega Saver had purchased 26 K&G's in Iowa recently.

Why is it that Megasaver can have approximately 17 locations within a mile radius of that location but Casey’s had to give up 72nd and Maple Bucky’s because it and Benson Bucky’s together would somehow be monopoly (even though it was fine when they were both Bucky’s…)?

You gotta be kiddin me!

That'll make four locations within less than a square mile. And yes, that's in addition to the seemingly 17 (not such an exaggeration) other locations right in the area.

That's not good to see so many MegaSavers. The fact that they're successful at a location no restaurant, or even reputable QT could pull off, then have enough confidence to open another store less than a half mile away says quite a bit about the clientele of the area.

Not a good look for northwest/central Omaha at all.

It ain't no lie. That's why its concerning to see so many of them in my area. I'm like "wow, I didn't know there were that many of that type in my backyard".

Actually it’s Maverik. They bought Kum and Go last year.

The Kum & Go near 168th & Cornhusker Rd is not becoming a Maverik but has instead become a Mega Saver.

The triangle lot at the very east end of Benson, where Maple and NW Radial come together, there is an abandoned gas station. There is a permit to cut off the sewer, which is usually a good sign the building is coming down. There are currently no other permits or any planning board applications. Land is owned by RS Holdings, which is Mega Saver. County website is not sowing when they purchased it.

Could be that it’s being torn down to keep the homeless from living in it.
