If the plans are carried out as reports say this will, this will mark a seismic shift in the gas station landscape. The number one most common gas station brand in Illinois is apparently planning to close 1,000 locations by the end of 2025.
Many will not be happy about two things. First, one of Missouri's largest gas providers is reportedly planning to close 1,000 stations. Second, the reason why will likely cause many to be angry.
I have never claimed to be a math genius, but I don't understand how this is possible. See if this makes sense to you. New data shows Missouri residents are spending more on gas than almost anywhere else in America even though the state has some of the least expensive gas. I'm perplexed.
