To the Editor: Why does the Oregon administration keep giving us duplicates of what we already have and nothing of what we need and want?
We already have four gas stations on Navarre. We don’t need five. Sheetz is not a little corner station. They’re huge with many, many pumps, and they serve fast food.
We had a long-time, loyal and dependable car wash, and we didn’t need another to compete with them.
Our beloved Dairy Depot is locally owned, and they spend their profits here. How sad you put a Dairy Queen right across the street from them. Why would you hurt an existing business? DQ is a chain and their profits go to their headquarters elsewhere.
If all that isn’t bad enough, now you’re going to put a Waffle House a stone’s throw from American Table, just to hurt another local business.
We need a nice sit-down restaurant, a Hobby Lobby, a fabric store, a shoe store and a clothing store.
I will continue to support the older businesses. I will also remember this at the next election.
