Night Rider

The Chevron station on the corner of Hwy 8 and Bishop Road, which all Cleveland natives know as “Night Rider”, recently underwent a massive expansion. Night Rider, which has been locally owned and operated for over 20 years, is a regular stop for many area residents. “We wanted to provide our customers with more options,” says Judson Thigpen III, Owner of the establishment. The renovation includes the addition of a kitchen, new restrooms, larger coolers, a centrally located fountain drink/coffee area, and a large seating area for customers. “The changing gasoline market conditions helped to prompt the expansion,” adds Thigpen.

“We will feature a variety of food items in the new kitchen including breakfast items, sandwiches, chicken, and even barbecue,” he says. Thigpen, who has owned the station since 1982 says the name Night Rider evolved from the 80’s TV show of the same name. “I guess it just kind of stuck with us,” he smiles. Thigpen also says the Manager/Chief of Operations of the store, Allan Howell, has contributed a great deal to make Night Rider what it is today. “Allan is an integral part of this business,” says Thigpen. For more information Night Rider can be reached at 843-3060.
