Pit Stop to close

The Pit Stop Convenience Store, which has been a staple on the west end of Postville for the past several decades, will be closing its doors permanently May 12, 2017. Dave Hemesath, manager of the Farmers Union Cooperative, has confirmed that the cooperative has sold the store to Casey’s General Store. A call to the corporate office of Casey’s General Store had not been returned by press time although it has been rumored that the current Casey’s General Store on West Tilden Street will be torn down and a new store erected on the current site of the Pit Stop.

Hemesath noted that the cooperative appreciates all the loyal business the Pit Stop has received through the years. He added, “In order to continue grow as an agriculture cooperative, we must focus on our core business.”

The Co-op 1 Stop in Ossian has also been purchased by Casey’s General Store and is scheduled to close May 12, 2017 as well.
