Tully’s new 24-hour servo
A NEW 24-hour service station has opened at Tully, the newest and largest in the sugar town.
Marano’s Fuel is on the Bruce Highway at the corner of Andersen St and is the 15th Marano’s site in North Queensland, and the independent and locally-owned company’s first on the Cassowary Coast.
The new 24-hour service station includes:
Sit down café-style dining, with fresh, hot food
A complete commercial kitchen
Heavy vehicle refuelling access (for B doubles, heavy rigid vehicles, caravans and trailers) and a trucker’s shower
High-flow diesel and Adblue at the bowser.
The cost of the project was not disclosed. Twenty staff in various roles are being employed.
Marano’s Fuel chief executive officer Angelo Marano said the new Tully service station would, not only cater for travellers and truckers, but will also be a convenient stop for local residents.
“We feel this is a great time for us to expand our retail operations into the Cassowary Coast and our new Tully service station marks a significant milestone for our company,” he said.
“The addition of another site to our existing portfolio of locations will also ensure that we are able to continue to service our network of pre-existing clients in the Tully area.
“We've already got Cairns, Douglas, the Tablelands and Cooktown covered, and now we're helping to generate competition in Tully.
“The servo is perfect for locals to fill up, and we’re sure that drivers will also enjoy the new café-style dining experience which provides hot, fresh food.”
