Bill's SuperGas Changing to Bill's Mobil
Bill's SuperGas is an "old school" gas station that is undergoing a few changes.
If you drive U.S. 19 on a regular basis, you may have noticed some changes underway at a popular Palm Harbor business.
Crews have been busy giving Bill's SuperGas a new look. They've been scraping the paint off the gas station at the corner of U.S. 19 and Tampa Rd, which may have made you wonder if longtime owner Bill Gallant had sold the place. The answer would be a big "NO!".
Gallant, who bought the gas station 20 years ago, has decided to start selling Mobil brand gas, which has prompted a face-lift of sorts. In addition to the new paint and signage, new LED gas pumps will be installed. The station will also sell Mobil synthetic oil, which is a popular choice for many high end vehicles.
