We are thankful everyone is safe.

As many of you may have heard, we experienced a devastating fire at our office early this morning that resulted in a total loss of our building. Most importantly, everyone is safe.

While our physical space is gone, our business is not. We have already transitioned to remote operations and will continue to serve our customers & community without interruption. The fuel pumps will unfortunately remain down for an undetermined amount of time at this moment.

Please reach us via [email protected] or 563-580-2897 for any immediate needs. We are incredibly grateful for the La Motte fire department and all surrounding departments that showed up and for the overwhelming support from our community. We look forward to rebuilding and growing stronger together.
