We would like to thank all of our valued customers for your patronage over the past nine and one half years that we have been at the Shell Lake Esso. It is with mixed feelings that we are leaving this business. We will really miss the staff, and will miss serving and visiting with so many great customers, but it is time for a change for us. Contrary to speculation, we are not retiring and we are not leaving this wonderful little community.
Also, thanks to all those who came by for coffee and donuts on our last day. It was much appreciated to hear your comments.
Cho, Hyo Hyon and Yang, Nam Ku took over ownership on February 12th. They have kept the same staff and E.C., so you will have the same friendly service as before. They are anxious to meet everyone and become part of the community, so stop in and say hi.
Dave & Linda Caswell

Sunday mass in Spiritwood at 11 a.m.
