Hello to our friends near and far! My name is Bernadette, and I am the General Manager for Why Not Travel Store, in Why, Arizona. Our store is a small family-owned business that has been around since 1991.
Although we are a small gas station, one of the many things we’re known for is taking part in community efforts and helping with charity work around our area. Over the years we’ve created lifelong friendships with customers and created amazing relationships with local businesses within the community of Why, Ajo, and surrounding areas.
Some people have mentioned to us that it is their first time coming to our store. They admit they often drive through without thinking of turning into our parking lot, but they later say they are so glad they took the time to stop. And you know what, we’re so happy they did as well! We love meeting new customers.
What some people do not know is we not only offer fuel, but our store offers many more services.
For example, we offer vehicle storage. Now this service comes in handy when you do not want to caravan for a trip. Here, your family or friends can meet at our location and drive down in a single vehicle, if they wish. Our vehicle storage is in a secured lot behind our store. We charge $7 per day.
The next wonderful service we offer is gun storage. We all, or most, know that bringing guns into Mexico is illegal and if caught trying to cross the border with even a single bullet will result in jail time. There are signs along the highway as you get closer to the border reminding people guns/weapons are not allowed in Mexico. Sometimes people forget, it happens, we’re human. Once again, this is where we come in. Our store offers gun storage. For $4 per day, you can leave your weapon in our care, and we’ll hold it for you until you return. As mentioned, we offer more services than just fuel!
I constantly share this information with travelers on our Facebook page. If you are a long-time follower of our page, you’ll know how many times I put this information out there. For those new to our Facebook page, you’ll see I share information on events for local and surrounding areas, traffic, weather, and other shenanigans or anything else that may pop up at that time. We currently have +15k followers and growing!
Whether our store is “must” on your travels or if this is your first time, we thank you for coming in to see us! We are very appreciative to all our customers. We love seeing you and we love helping you to the absolute best of our abilities. In good Why Not Travel Store fashion we say, Have A Good Day! Please stay safe.
Sincerest and kind regards,
Bernadette Nez
General Manager, Why Not Travel Store
