The residents of Bedford get another gas station. After months of having only one place to get fuel and other quick grab food and beverages, the Multani family opens the old Shell station as a Valero gas station in Bedford. The store opened on May 21, 2013 and had an official Grand Opening on Tuesday May 28, 2013.
The Multani family includes Virsa (Father), Manjeet (Mother), Sandy, Harry, and Franky. Although Virsa is the head of the family, Franky is the man in charge at Valero. He received his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Devry University and is currently 26 years old. Although the family has descendants from India, they are American citizens.
Franky Multani was looking around for a place to open a business when his friend Sukh Bains showed him the Bedford Shell Station. He said having a business at the intersection of two US highways (US HWYs 42 and 421) is what most attracted him to Bedford. He added that he felt he could help the community by providing more than fuel. Providing fuel at the lowest cost around is one of Franky’s top priorities, but he is working on adding a delicatessen with a variety of fresh-cut lunchmeats and cheese soon. He is also working with vendors to sell piping hot pizza and fried chicken in the near future. Currently, he offers hundreds of different bottled soft drinks and assorted snacks as well as milk and bread. Franky added, “I want to deliver a high quality product at an affordable price for the people of Bedford.”
If you haven’t been in the new Valero station, I highly recommend it. The Multani’s gave the old Shell station a complete remodel and it looks beautiful. Within a month or so, Franky says the Deli will be open and ready to serve fried chicken and fresh hot pizza.
