Sad news, burger fans. The Burger King at this gas station is permanently closed. I mean, what in the world does "permanent" even mean these days? Looks like it closed for COVID, but the sign on the door said permanently closed and even though all the furniture is in there, it was for sure not open.
Now, that's its own business and not necessarily this gas station, but since they share the building, it's certainly going to put a damper on Whopper chasers looking to fuel up.
As for me, I was just buying gas. And the gas pumps here are a little old, and a little slow, but they did the trick just fine. Here's the important thing to remember: I-70 is a wasteland for services. You had darn well better fuel up and one of the two Green River spots, because if you're headed west, the next fuel isn't available for 110 miles. And if you're headed east, I *think* it's about 99 miles to Grand Junction. So this gas station and the several others in Green River are the only game in town for over 200 miles. Fuel up, folks.
I also stepped in to go to the restroom, and found it a little odd that the bathroom doors were propped open. They're signed that way, and I *think* this is a COVID thing? Like, don't touch the door handles? It was a little weird to walk by the ladies room and have a full view of it, but the stalls are obviously all private so once you drop trou, you're in your own world.
No purchases this time, but they were handling the social distancing well when I visited. Fueled up, pottied down, and was back out on I-70 pretty quick. read more
