6 p.m. Thursday marked the end of an era in Arlington Heights, as Grandt s Shell service station closed its doors.
Longtime customers, family, friends and Grandt s four daughters bid a fond farewell with a car parade Thursday at the station, 406 E. Northwest Hwy.
It s just time to go, owner Craig Grandt said. We still have a lot of clients. I didn t want to go out struggling; we can go out high.
Arlington Heights will extend some additional financial relief to local businesses particularly restaurants amid the ongoing pandemic and resulting second ban on indoor dining.
