    Kind of sad they tore the old place down; it was such a unique piece of architecture. But the layout made a lot of people confused and I think they were upgrading the diesel pumps anyway, so it made sense.

    I just looked at some before/after pics on Google. It now has the same general appearance as any newer PFJ. Good examples for me would be the one in Vega TX, or the one in my town of Clovis NM. Both built around 2017/18.

    Man I miss the old place. Spent many nights and sometimes a weekend there. It’s always been a J as long as I can remember.

    My only gripe was the angle of the parking lot. If you didn’t park in the right spot, you’d regret it. Lol.

    Now it’s just another cookie cutter place. Kinda sad really.
     
    Dna Mach Thanks this.
