Robs Gas Depot going to auction?

I would keep watching this. I'll bet he never pays a Mil for it. Watch the sales section in the paper and see. Then watch what he pays in taxes.

According to Vision Appraisal the property was purchased in July 2006 for $1.6M. It is assessed currently at $1.5M.

It sold that day for 1.2 million...

several other bidders will be next in line..if that one, the suppossed son, doesn't come through.

too much money for this though still...

Irving's in Meredith, down the bottom of high school hill, always has the lowest gasoline prices around. All local Cumberland Farm stores have stopped carrying the weekly Salmon Press newspapers; Meredith News, & Record-Plymouth, for some reason. The distribution of the LaDaSun has been 12-hours late, lately. The Moultonborough Irving, near Heath's has good low prices, and price is all that matters......gasoline brands are all the same product.

Gone are the days of Signal Gasoline....the brand that makes your car go further....Go further, Buy Signal!

have you heard if the gas pumps will be open?

Lakesrider · 11-23-2009, 09:47 PM

It will be interesting to see what happens there. I can only imagine that a gas station will open there rather quickly. Because if it stays closed too long (12 months) the EPA will consider those tanks closed or abandoned and they will need to be pulled up, or cleaned out, filled with sand and the ground remediated to close it down. Very costly. The same thing was going to happen at the Moultonborough store. So I would almost (Tongue in cheek here...) Bet that there will be a gas station there again soon. If there is contamination in the ground you will see a lot of trucks and digging going on before anything else goes in there. Which is why I won't believe that the place sold for over a million dollars at an auction without someone doing some real good environmental testing of their own before taking the liability of a cleanup. When I see the tax bill for the sale I'll believe it.

Word is store and pumps are going ,I'll believe it when I see it.

Lakesrider · 11-24-2009, 07:51 PM

I still have friends in the UST Division of the EPA.....If you still want a gas station there i can make a call.....

Irrigation Guy · 11-24-2009, 10:07 PM

I did see them doing some drilling and testing before they had the auction. I sure hope it stays open for gas, as a snowmobiler it is the best place by far to get gas on the trail and Murphy's will be chaos on the weekends without it.

I myself will be buying more gas cans if it doesn't re-open for gas as there is too much pavement and to many turns to be made to get into Murphy's.

Kinda hard for me to do that with a 100 gallon tank for the boat however.

OCD, You can usually swing right into Skelley's on a Sat or Sun summer AM and top off there

They are never busy!

not only that but making the swing heading west then U turn into the pumps is very difficult, and darn near impossible when there are other patrons there. Trust me I would much rather go there then have to trailer all the way back towards center harbor but can't beat Fuller's parking lot turn in.

Lakesrider · 11-28-2009, 09:09 AM

When I kept my boat in RI there was a gas station that had a cool boat only fuel pump. It had an articulating arm so that if your boat was pretty high up on the trailer the arm would help you get to the tank opening more easily. Kind of like the fuel oil truck filler arms at the big oil tanks. Always thought that would be neat up here. You wouldn't have to pull into the regular pumps to fill up. If someone had a separate boat filling station they would make some serious money.

OCDACTIVE · 12-15-2009, 04:50 PM

any word on this being open? I haven't been up in awhile. I heard someone saw lights on?

Lakesrider · 12-15-2009, 05:39 PM

Lights have been on inside the store part for a while now. I drove by last night and no lights on outside as usual.

captbart · 12-15-2009, 08:24 PM

Fuller bought it back at auction (he held the first anyway, don't know if there was a second!) If he can find some one to buy / lease the store and pumps he will other wise the back will be oil Co. I'm sure it won't be cheap. Who knows?
