OAK GROVE, Mo. — Oak Grove 70 Petro has just completed a major remodel of its chrome shop, gift store and Iron Skillet restaurant.

“Our customers are continually complimenting us on what we’ve done with this remodel,” General Manager Steve Aderman said.

The updated chrome shop and gift area have been redesigned and expanded to provide a more open feel for customers.

“We wanted people to walk into an area that is welcoming and spacious. This new design accomplishes that,” Delia Moon Meier, senior vice president of the Iowa 80 Group.

Oak Grove 70 is part of the Iowa 80 Group family.

The Iron Skillet restaurant also received a makeover that included new seating, a new buffet, new decor and lighting fixtures.

“The restaurant has a whole new fresh look,” Aderman said. “We also nearly doubled our seating by revamping our banquet room into dining space.”

The Oak Grove 70 Petro also remodeled main floor restrooms and installed a new Moonstruck Java coffee station, as well as a new entrance vestibule complete with automatic doors.
