POST FALLS — The new Local Market and Chevron fueling station at Highway 41 and Hope Avenue created quite a buzz with its Jan. 5 grand opening, drawing crowds with a major fuel markdown. 

The enthusiasm was so strong that owners Andy Singh and Pasquale Mastantuono are rerunning the promotion.

Fuel prices will drop back to $1.24 a gallon on Tuesday, about a dollar less than the current average. 

Customers can pay even less at the pump by downloading the Chevron app to get 25 cents off their first five fill-ups, Singh said, bringing the cost down to 99 cents a gallon. 

The fuel deal is a way of welcoming the community to the new location and a gesture of thanks for supporting local businesses, Singh previously told The Press. 

The promotion will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on the night of Tuesday, Jan. 13. Singh emphasized that customers who choose to download the Chevron app in advance should do so to keep lines moving efficiently.
