Plaza Station Becomes Conoco Outlet In Fredericksburg
The Plaza Service Station, long run as a Gulf station by Benno Stehling for 25 years, became a Conoco outlet on August 1. Owned by the Fredericksburg Independent School District since 1927, the site moved to Conoco under a four year lease bid by Continental Oil Company. The school board selected Conoco over three other major oil firms. Renovations have been underway and Benno and Alfred Stehling remain as operators inviting public patronage.
