Crossville, TN—April 11, 2022, U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-06) will participate in a National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) in-store event at the Weigel’s located on West Ave in Crossville. He will interact with employees, customers, and business owners from behind the counter, and experience firsthand the economic opportunity and wide range of products and services convenience stores provide their communities.
U.S. Representative John Rose released the following statement:
"Convenience stores in Middle Tennessee are much more than a place to grab a quick drink or some food. They are many folks' first jobs, their small businesses, and the only place to get motor fuel and competitively priced goods and services for many rural communities," said U.S. Rep. Rose. "In two terms of serving Middle Tennesseans in Congress, this will be my first time serving them from behind the counter of a Weigel's. I couldn't be more excited to have this opportunity and to partner with the National Association of Convenience Stores in-store program.”
