The new Jack Flash Truck Stop in Pana did a “soft opening” this week, and the public responded in a big way.

The one-square-block gasoline and diesel fuel stop features Cooper's Express chicken, an Express Pizza Hut, and an extensive liquor section including product from 3 area wineries. 

The new business also has a large snack area plus clothing and accessories, stuffed animals, toys, trinkets, and more.

The Jack Flash Truck Stop in Pana also features slot machines and a large tobacco section.

The new business has been several years in the making, and is a result of work done by the Pana Pride civic improvement group.
