THERE was nothing quite like standing at Liberty Shepparton Service Station at its grand opening event last week. Personally, I have never seen so many vehicles filling up at the pumps at any one time.
This was largely due to the station dropping its fuel prices by 10 cents per litre, the free food, drinks and giveaways, which included inflatable lounges, phone power banks, Schweppes glasses, tote bags and more.
But the real excitement came when the first of the greatly anticipated Fuel Frenzies started, where customers were given the chance to guess how much it would cost to fill up their fuel tanks and if they came close to the dollar amount they walked away with free fuel.
Local resident, Lily Bace was one such lucky customer who guessed $90 and the total cost coming to $90.77.
Federal Member for Murray, Damian Drum attended the service station to officially open the upgraded facility.
Damian said, “I congratulate the Sofra family on such a momentous occasion. It is a proud moment for them I am sure.”
Terry Sofra and Mary Sofra (DeStefanis) said, “How busy it was at the grand opening was how busy we were when we first opened all those years ago.
“Dad would be grinning from ear to ear.”
