Tom and Judy Love built gas stations in Oklahoma. The Love’s businesses are 50 years old now and they recently posted the picture above and the following words on the Love’s Country Stores page, “After eight years of building business based on the cheapest gas in town, Tom and Judy Love were ready for their next challenge. In 1972, Love’s opened its very first Mini Stop ‘Country Store’ in Guymon, OK. This revolutionary store combined a convenience store with self-service gasoline, which was a new concept at the time.”
That store sat on the corner of 12th and Main and today is Dizzy B’s. It is known for being one of the top selling lottery ticket stores in Oklahoma. The owners, Jennifer and Lowell Williams, and their crew make some of the best homemade quick lunches in town.
