Various other posts on TOTV will undoubtedly reveal that this particular station has had many, many problems since its first opening. Such as, multiple owners/franchisees; obviously poor on-site management; dozens of reported incidents where gas wasn't available!

I almost always fill my car (my golf cart is electric) at one of the Shell stations at Southern Trace. They are always busy; sometimes I even have to wait for a pump.

But, a couple of weeks ago, I was headed to Tavares in the evening, when I realized that I should fill up, or run a distinct risk of runing out of gas! So, I stopped at the Shell in Colony Plaza. There were absolutely no other customers, either at the pumps or in the store.

I wasn't surprised, frankly, but it is certainly worth noting by those living closer to CR466A than I.

Once the villages of Sanibel and Charlotte are filled with residents, I know that the situation will improve!
