Jundt's Westland
Thursday, September 27, 1962 was the opening of
a new Westland gas station on the magic Mile in Minot, (the Magic Mile being
South Broadway). The proprietor of the new station was Leo Jundt. Prior to
operating this location, Jundt operated a Westland Station on East Central
Avenue. The new station on South Broadway was built at a cost of $85,000.00. It
featured a 25 foot canopy in the front that extended over the gas pumps. The
station also housed two service bays, each with a single post hoist. The
“Selectane” gas pumps were new in design and could dispense nine different
grades of gasoline to match the gas to the octane requirements of the vehicle
