Sauk Rapids Gas Station Offers Discount With ‘Permit To Carry’

Sauk Rapids Gas Station Offers Discount With ‘Permit To Carry’

By Jim Maurice June 14, 2016 10:37 AM

SAUK RAPIDS – A Sauk Rapids convenience store is offering a unique gas discount, in an effort to fight back against a rash of armed robberies.

The Shell gas station at 400 South Benton Drive posted a sign in their door earlier this week that says “Gas Discount for law enforcement, or people with proof of permit to carry, .10 cents off per gallon after 7:00 p.m. daily”.

He says he just found out this (Tuesday) morning that someone posted a picture of the sign on Facebook, which is starting to go viral. He says so far the feedback from customers has been positive.

That Shell store has been robbed twice in the past three months.
