Letter: New station actually is competition

Shannon Sexton writes:
The majority of our local gas stations are owned by Newcomb Oil. All 5-Star stores are, to the best of my knowledge.

The new store in Pinewood Shopping Center is not Newcomb-owned, and should provide some competition for our gas dollars.

It is also my understanding that the developers of the new station were approached early on in regards to selling out the gas rights in the shopping center (a fruitless bid to limit competition in Columbia) and the developers refused. You can confirm this by contacting the developers.

Monopoly pricing is what keeps us paying more. I'm looking forward to the new option and hopefully lower fuel prices. --Shannon Sexton
