After purchasing the vacant property next to A&W Restaurant 32 years ago, Don and Janey Giessinger developed it into what it once was — a gas station. Don and Janey, along with their daughter and son-in-law, Jeanna and Scott Rosenfeld, now run Atascadero 76, Inc., to meet the needs of local customers or drivers passing through — whether they need to fuel up, wash their car, or purchase a drink.

“Seeing our loyal customer base and keeping people happy knowing that they can go anywhere else but choose to keep coming back here makes me happy,” the family says. They have a convenience store, ATM, two car washes, and option to fill propane, as well as Top Tier, E-85, and Renewable Diesel fuels. They also offer limited-time promotions for customers.

In addition to working on getting charging stations, Don and Janey plan for their family to take over the business someday, so that they can take the time to travel a bit more. 

The family tries to support as many local nonprofits and service clubs as they can. They do a lot with ECHO, Greyhounds, local softball teams, 4-H kids, the LIGHTHOUSE program, the Atascadero Printery, and Friends of the Lake. “We appreciate the support from the community and try to return the favor and support them also,” the family adds.
