All-Star/Amoco is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month. It all started out when Bruce and Becky Sellnow purchased the Amoco station in 1976. The original Amoco had a small shop in which minor car repairs were done, like oil changes and things like that. In 1986, the old station was torn down to make a larger store which includes a convenience store and laundry. A car wash was also built at this time and a service bay was installed. In 1990, they added the deli and pizzas and office space and in 1994 took out the service bay which expanded the deli and made the store larger.
