Workers take advantage of warmer temperatures and sunshine Wednesday at the site of a new Pump 'n Pete's building located north of its current store at 1920 S. Main St.
The new building is slated to be completed by March 1, depending on weather. The current building will be torn down and the new store will include more pumps, better parking and a deli with an enlarged eating space, store manager Rachel Pearson said.
Pump 'n Pete's is owned by Gratz Peters of Erie. Peters also owns four other locations in Fort Scott, including Cowan's Country Corner, a new acquisition as of Jan. 6. The contractor for the South Main Street store rebuild is R2 Construction of Fort Scott, according to Pearson.
