New fuel stop aims to bring truckers, oversized loads back to Torrington

For the first time in more than 20 years, drivers on the south side of Torrington will have a place to fill up.

Platte River Ag Solutions, owned by local businessmen Justin Solberg and Raymond Martin, is in the final stretch before opening its new fuel station and convenience store at 150 Main St. Solberg said the last pieces were being processed as of Monday, and the store is expected to open within a day or two. By the time this edition reaches readers, it may already be open.

“We’re two local guys that are unbranded,” Solberg said. “So the big thing that we want to push is giving back to our community.”
