Owners recognized

The owners of the Team Oil Travel Center, Eric and Tony Huppert, were presented a plaque by Pierce County Supervisor Ken Snow and Town of Gilman Supervisor Don Nellessen, commemorating the opening of the travel center's Subway addition last month in Spring Valley. The beautiful wood plaque is in appreciation for the employment opportunities Team Oil has created in the community. Over 35 individuals work in the travel center, servicing the needs of residents and visitors of the area. In the last 10 years, the center has grown from an equipment sales lot into a full liquor store, a BP gas station, convenience store, car wash, RV parking, deli area, Subway and a fully staffed WESTconsin Credit Union. From left to right are Tony Huppert, Eric Huppert, Don Nellessen, Ken Snow and Bessy (the cow). -- Photo submitted
