HERE IS A NEW MAQUOKETA BUSINESS! IT IS LOCATED ON EAST PLATT STREET,
ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH. IT WAS A GAS STATION AND CONVENIENCE STORE FOR MANY YEARS. THEN IT CLOSED, THE TANKS WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE GROUND AND IT WAS A LONGTIME EYESORE. THANKS TO RANDY AND VICKIE KUHLMAN, WHO PURCHASED THE BUILDING (AND DID EXTENSIVE RENOVATIONS), IT IS NOW AN ATTRACTIVE FULL SERVICE DETAIL AND CAR WASH BUSINESS. OPEN EVERY DAY BUT SUNDAY. OH...THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS IS .. "GOT HER DONE"! RANDY AND VICKIE HAVE SEVERAL EMPLOYEES
WHO GIVE FAST, FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE NEEDS, ALONG WITH GUARANTEED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IS 563-652-9928. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEW BUSINESS RANDY AND VICKIE.
