Testimonials

Main Street Station opened in the Fall of 1996. When owner Jeff Niebler built the site it was state-of-the-art, with convenience store, Shell fuel, and touch-less car wash. Niebler added, "Yes, state-of-the-art. But back then I had a bag phone in my car." Twenty years of technological advances was leaving Jeff's store appearing tired, outdated, and functionally inaffective. "Essentially, it was losing its place in the appeal of our community, he said."

Energy costs for lighting had increased dramatically, too. To cut expenses, store fixtures inside and outs had been abandoned, adding to the store's deteriorating appearance.

Niebler learned about the Focus on Energy Small Business Program through Staples Energy's sales efforts and local utility communications. "Upgrading to LED fixtures increased our curb appeal dramatically inside, on the store facia, and under the fueling canopies. LED pole lights in the parking areas provided increased safety and efficiency along with reduced energy costs, as well."

The Focus on Energy Program allowed Main Street Station to regain lost presence in a highly competitive market.

"Staples Energy provided professional and efficient staff and expertise to complete the project in a timely fashion while affording our store the financial incentives to keep the costs in line with a realistic and workable payback timeline. Thank you, Staples Energy, for working with us to produce this positive outcome.”  - Owner, Jeff Niebler
