What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A new independent gas station planned for Westmoreland is facing delays because equipment shipment from Panama was held up by logistical challenges following a recent earthquake. The station, part of an expansion of Sir Mac Auto, should become fully operational by the end of November once the necessary equipment arrives and duties are paid. The project is the brainchild of Robin McFayden, owner of Sir Mac Auto.
