T&N Toleafoa Gas Station has added the newly opened Lotopa location to a growing chain that is now up to four.
Space for a restaurant and supermarket to be housed in a two-storey building is set up as part of the $3.6m tala investment.
The gas station is at the corner of a three-way intersection along the main Lotopa road going up one of the more populated stretch through Tuanaimato, Ululoloa, Si’usega, Tafaigata and further out to Aleisa.
COVID-19 pandemic restrictions slowed down construction to more than a year, but it is now in business much to the relief of motorists in the busy area.
Around 30 new jobs are available from the various operations including the running of the station pumps, according to a company spokesman.
The Lotopa location is added to other T& L Gas Stations at Fagali’i, Savalalo and Fasito’o-tai.
