Marshall’s Ag Plus C-Store Reopens with Expanded Fuel Options and Community Support
After several weeks of construction, Ag Plus Cooperative’s C-Store on East Main Street in Marshall has reopened with new features tailored for convenience and support of the agricultural community.
Alongside fresh asphalt and concrete, the site now offers upgraded gas and diesel pumps, including additional diesel dispensers and the introduction of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) for diesel engines.
The pumps feature various ethanol blends, such as E15, reflecting Ag Plus’ commitment to supporting local agriculture.
The C-Store’s grand reopening event included food trucks and promotions, as well as a “Fuel for a Cause” initiative, contributing a portion of October fuel sales to breast cancer research.
Ag Plus took special care to address potential disruptions during construction, collaborating with nearby C-Stores to accommodate customers.
With advanced technology, Ag Plus can now remotely update the pumps, ensuring reliable service and functionality for customers.
Future upgrades are also planned for the convenience store itself, marking the end of this first phase of improvements.
