According to owner Derrit Daigle, the hope is to reopen soon.
“We hope to re-open, possibly as early as this afternoon (July 21),” said Daigle. “We have to air out the building and get air testing done.”
He was unable to comment on the cause of the smell and advised it’s something Cenovus would have to address.
Early on July 17, the Lloydminster Fire Department responded to the Lloydminster Esso Travel Centre for reports of a gas leak.
Upon arrival, officials initially found no issues and the facility remained open before closing on July 19.
The Meridian Source will update this story if more information becomes available and when the facility re-opens.
