Timber Tavern in Parishville now offering gas

PARISHVILLE -- The Timber Tavern, which re-opened with a new owner in 2015, has installed pumps for locals who need gas for their cars, trucks, motorcycles, four-wheelers and snowmobiles.

“The main targets of this gas install are anyone who owns snowmobiles, four-wheelers or other ATVs, small engines where the gas may sit in the line over the winter such as lawn mowers, or anyone that works odd hours where the normal gas stations in the area aren't open yet or have already closed,” said Ben Clicquennoi, the owner of the restaurant and bar.

“Everyone in town should able to get fuel if they need it at all times, day or night. It's 91 octane, ethanol-free gas so it's safe to leave in engines for long periods of time without the threat of it eating up your fuel line,” he said.

He says he’s hoping the restaurant as well as other businesses in the area will benefit from the access to gas there.

“I'm trying to draw not only more business to my bar, but more business to the whole trail system around that area as well. Obviously I'm hoping The Timber will be the main beneficiary of this, but I think it will also help The Cedar Lodge, Deer Valley Trails, and any other business in the area that relies on snowmobile business to improve their bottom line,” Clicquennoi said.

“I know both The Cedar Lodge and Deer Valley Trails have gas as well, so it just encourages more people to come to our neck of the woods once word gets out that there's plenty of different spots to get gas,” he said.

The price is set at $3.25 per gallon for the premium gas, which will change with the price he pays the supplier.

The pump will be on 24/7 for credit card access right at the pump, and during business hours for cash sales.
