There's going to be a new "gas sheriff" in Newtown soon.

I rolled by on my way in this morning, and the construction on the new Wheels convenience store/gas station is coming along nicely!

It's located almost directly across from the Mobil, Blue Colony Diner, and Newtown Pizza Palace- near I-84 on Rt. 6/Church Hill Road in Newtown.

I do like that Mobil station, the air pumps are awesome, they are the digital dial ones. Sweet. But it's a very crowded-busy area that desperately needed another place to stop in for your beef jerky fix.

Wheels is a well-known brand around our area, they own quite a few locations. Their stores offer up fresh food and all of the conveniences needed for our daily commuting and working lives.

You can check out their website for more information on the Wheels brand by clicking HERE.

By the looks of the construction, we are about a month away from Newtown GAS PRICE WARS! Yeah!
