30 Years in Business! The Oil Spout Story

This story started back in 1983 when Stuart and I purchased the Husky service station on 700 North here in Spanish Fork from Willard Nelson.  We were just kids, and people thought we were crazy. We had to do something to survive and take care of our little growing family.  Kira was almost two

 when we took on this new adventure.  Jacob was born in 1985 and Kaitlyn joined us in 1988.

As the kids got older they all had responsibilities around the station.  They earned spending money for the extra things they wanted.  They all worked there until they graduated from high school.

Thirty years later Stuart is still there running the gas station on 700 North.  Things haven't always been easy and we have had our ups and downs but for the most part it's made us very happy.  Thanks to great family, freind and customers we just might survive another 30!!  I guess we will just have to wait and see about that one.

 This is the whole White house gang at our get together on May 16th.  We are so thankful for our kids, our son's and daughter in law for all the love and support they are to us.  Hatch, who is almost 11 is just waiting for the day he can work for Grandpa at the Spout.  It's just around the corner I'm afraid.  The grandkids are growing up just as fast as our kids did. 

 It was fun getting caught up with old employees and hearing stories that haven't been heard in years. 

The Oil Spout will be in good hands with all of these cute boys working there!

 Kira put together a video of photo's take over the years.  That was really fun to watch and remember the days of the remodelings and all the fun times.  The old cash registers and such.

 This is the mop bucket from the old Husky station.  Kira remembers using it.
