Tom Thumb at 331/98 is open, but won't have gas ...

Tom Thumb at 331/98 is open, but won't have gas until the tanks are replaced. One employee said it would take 3 weeks to have gas pumping again. I believe this is part of the mandatory upgrade for all stations to have double-walled tanks to help stop leaking.

Such a bummer. Living on Bay Dr, that is the closest place for me to get gas now we have to drive a ways for it The girl at the counter told me yesterday that they were redoing the pumps and the parking lot and it would be over 3 months! I hope she was wrong, 3 weeks is better than 3 months.

I thought the station was undergoing retrofit because of the widening of Hwy 331.

Thats horse Sheet!!!! They are bull sheeting you. They are not making any money off the gas so they are just not selling it just like Sally's and all those places in Atlanta. Those tanks were replaced not to long ago and you will see everyone going to cash only. ;-)

Yea! That is the only Tom Thumb not making money so that is the only Tom Thumb that is going to stop selling gas. These conspiracies can no longer hide now that we have the internet.

No they are making money but they are probably tired of being tax collectors by selling gas. You keep believing that! Have you ever been a small business owner(Tax Collector)? My Grandfather owned a Chevy Dealership gas stations and inconvenient stores and my father and myself have both worked for him so we know the drill!

I was just guessing that the tanks are being replaced. I could be wrong. Right now, that Tom Thumb is probably mostly a beer and cigarette station.

My family owned an automobile dealership for several years in which I worked. I own a retail computer store in DeFuniak Springs and a marketing company. So yes, I understand as most of what I do earn seems to go to the government, and I expect to be significantly more in the coming years.

The problem with your theory though is it is only one Tom Thumb. If it were all of them, I would find it more credible.

The profit margin of the fuel sold by any store is very very low. They do not make a whole lot of fuel sales. Most of a store's revenue comes from being able to suck you inside to buy stuff...

Sorry...should say "They do not make a whole lot off of fuel sales."
