One of the best things about living in West Richland is that we’re still small enough to get excited when a new gas station opens. :) So, yes, this is cool — the new Smitty’s 76 gas station/mini-mart is now open on Bombing Range Road, right across from Yoke’s Supermarket.

Smitty\'s 76 gas station in West Richland

I went in over the weekend with my kids, and the inside is really nice. It’s super clean, of course — but it also looks nice, looks a little different from the typical mini-mart store. And maybe best of all, the kids found lollipops being sold for just 15 cents each! I didn’t know you could still buy anything for 15 cents these days. :)

Oh, there’s also a Quiznos mini-restaurant inside - don’t want to forget mentioning that.

And all of this adds up to good news for the city — more sales tax dollars coming in to the city coffers is always a good thing.
