Bob Bong on Business: Gas N Wash to open second Mokena location

By Bob Bong

Bob Bong

Mokena-based Gas n Wash has announced it will open a second location in Mokena at 6 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, at 19990 S. LaGrange Road.

It will be the company’s seventh location. The company also operates Food n Fuel locations in the south suburbs.

The new Mokena location will feature a car wash, fuel pumps for cars and trucks, a convenience store as well as Beggars Pizza, Great American Bagel and Hog Wild Express restaurants.

Great American Bagel and Hog Wild will offer window service in separate drive-thru lanes.

This will be the second go-round for a second Hog Wild location. The popular eatery is based in Midlothian and opened a location in Tinley Park several years ago that subsequently closed.

The new Hog Wild will offer dine-in eating as well as drive-thru. The Mokena restaurant will also accept credit or debit cards, which the original location in Midlothian does not, it will remain a strictly cash operation.

Hours will be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

The car wash is located on a former campground that was abandoned years ago.

A new traffic light has been installed at the entrance to the new facility, which went into operation this week.

Plans for the gas station were first approved in June 2017 and construction began in April.
