Sharon and Frank Welch, who have owned the business since 1974, expect to start building the new restaurant in the spring. The new building will be located just to the east of the Pilot gas station on the north side of Highway K and the old building will be razed. A new road will also divide the Pilot and newly built restaurant, which the DOT will pay up to $200,000 of.
