ATHENA â A blue sign on Oregonâs Highway 11 alerts drivers that fuel is available in half a mile.
Sure, drivers can fill up at The One Stop, but owner Grant Richie really sees his place as a community store.
His full-service gas station is also a restaurant and a well-stocked convenience store that even offers fresh produce.
âWeâre small town people,â Richie said. âWeâve tried to make this a place where you can get everything you need in a small town.â
Kitty-corner to Weston-McEwen High School, and located on the edge of downtown commerce, The One Stop has become a place the people of Athena (pop. 1,100) can count on for food, fuel and friendly service.
