The owner of the popular Warrensburg Gulf Tire House and Gas Station will be overseeing construction of a truck stop and gas station in the Queensbury area.
Appropriately named the Queensbury Truck Stop, owner Tabassum “Toby” Sheikh said the full-service station will also offer Dunkin’ Donuts, and a small restaurant service.
The location of the truck stop and gas station will be on the corner of Route 149 and Ridge Road.
Sheikh said the spot, which he previously operated, was a Getty Gas Station that did well, receiving a lot of traffic. He made the decision to tear it down last fall in order to build the new 6,500-square-foot space.
“We are working on details now, but planning for a November opening,” said Sheikh.
