This weekend sees the grand
opening of a new gas station in
Blyth as Radford Fuels celebrates
its new location.
Radford Fuels is the latest addi
tion to the Radford Group which
also includes George Radford Con
struction, Radford Auto, Farm and
Industrial Parts (with locations in
Blyth and Brussels) and Radford
Truck Repairs.
The gas station pumped its first
gas May 28 after a hectic few
weeks of getting things ready.
Diane Radford said the idea of a
fuel division had been discussed for
some time. "It's been in the back of
our minds in one slate or another
for a considerable length of time."
The idea was pushed closer to
reality, however, when new regula
tions were announced that meant
all underground fuel tanks had to
be replaced. The company had
underground tanks to serve its own
fleet of vehicle and they figured if
they had to spend a lot of money
replacing those tanks, they might as
well try to recover some of the
expense by starting a public opera
tion as well. "We're always here
