Daughter Pens Emotional Tribute to Father’s Store That’s Now Closed in Acadiana
What a tribute.
Kim Dever Thibodeaux wrote a beautiful tribute to her father on Facebook after he closed his business (gas station) in Breaux Bridge.
John's Store is no longer open for business, but the story of how it all started is amazing.
The idea of opening a business all started in 1985 when Kim's father sat there counting the vehicles on a highway.
The number of vehicles driving past him was enough to convince him that a gas station would work, and it would provide enough for his family.
The owners of the gas station worked through hurricanes and expanded through the years, but as they say, "All good things have to come to an end."
Saly for the family, the store has been sold and the family that started "John's Store" had to witness the store no longer pump fuel or even sell a burger recently.
Check out this emotional tribute from a daughter to her parents. Kim's mother is no longer with them, but her father has now entered into his well-deserved retirement years.
