Longtime Service Station Owner Plans To Retire

A Warsaw landmark will disappear at the end of January when Pinky's Union 76 closes its doors. Owner Robert Eherenman, whom everyone knows as Pinky, is not retiring by choice."I really don't want to get out," he said recently. But a ruling by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency would require all gas stations to remove their underground tanks and replace them by Dec.2, 1998.For Pinky's three tanks, the cost, estimated between $50,000 to $100,000, is simply too much. "There will probably be a lot of service stations go out of business by December 2," he said. Located on the corner of Detroit and Center streets for 33 years, Pinky's is one of the few full-service gas stations left.And his customers aren't happy he's closing. "I still have customers that started with me," he said, telling of how, when the road was closed for the Ind.15 project, loyal customers still managed to get to his station.
