Rhodes 101 Stop plans to open new store in Anna Nov. 15
PAJCO Inc. recently acquired the Trail of Tears Junction gas station at 148 Leigh St. in east Anna.
This location is the first Rhodes 101 Stop east of the Mississippi River.
The Trail of Tears Junction ceased operations on July 31 and Rhodes 101 began immediately on a complete upgrade of the facility.
The site will open Thursday, Nov. 15, as Rhodes 101 Stops Convenience Store.
PAJCO Inc. shared a news release which announced the grand opening of its location in Anna.
The location will have an assortment of grocery and convenience items, quality fuel, always clean and quality restrooms and, most importantly, the same great customer service that Rhodes 101 customers can expect at all locations.
It also has a walk-in beer cave, which lets Rhodes 101 provide the coldest beer around.
This location will be the first in Southern Illinois to offer the innovative Coca-Cola Freestyle soda fountain.
The Coca-Cola Freestyle offers more than 101 regular and low-calorie beverage options, including sparkling beverages, lemonades, sports drinks and flavored waters and is the future of fountain beverage.
For hot beverage selection, Rhodes has 101 Café To-Go, providing guests with several coffee and cappuccino choices, as well as flavored and seasonal creamers.
This Rhodes 101 will provide guests with an array of breakfast, lunch and dinner options with Hot Stuff Foods and Soupe Express.
Items on the Hot Stuff menu include breakfast sandwiches, pizza and burgers.
The Soupe Express line offers fresh foods including soups, salads and sandwiches.
Food items, fountain drinks, coffee and other merchandise will all be available through the drive-thru as well as inside the store.

Members can earn points for every fuel and in-store purchase and participate in various prize drawings.
The points are tracked with an electronic tag and can then be redeemed for discounts on fuel, beverages and other in-store merchandise.
