Mid-County holiday expansion in Cologne to start Oct. 1
Mid-County Cologne Holiday will be under construction this fall in order to expand our fuel options and make gas fill-ups quicker and easier.
The construction project will add a fourth gasoline dispenser and two new tanks at the south island. To accommodate this, new concrete will be poured and the canopy will be extended. Five types of gasoline will be offered, including three ethanol products – E85, E30, and E15.
The project is expected to start Monday, Oct. 1 and take about five weeks to complete. Beginning Oct. 8, gas customers will be redirected to the gas/diesel island on the north side of the store, where two dispensers with 89 octane gas will be open. Diesel fuel will continue to be available in that north island, as well.
Credit card payment can be made either at the pump or in the convenience store. Before stopping inside, customers may want to move their vehicle to one of the parking areas.
As a way to thank customers for their patience, Mid-County Cologne Holiday will be offering a special discount on beverages. All coffee drinks will be 99 cents, and all fountain drinks will be 89 cents. Fuel will also be discounted during the construction. Premium diesel fuel will be sold at the regular diesel fuel price, and 89 octane gas will be sold at the 87 octane price.
“We appreciate all the great support we’ve gotten through the years,” Mid-County Coop General Manager Bill Reimers said. “Our business at the Cologne Holiday store is growing, and we’re looking forward to being able to serve our customers even better.”
Mid-County Cologne Holiday is conveniently located just off Highway 212 on Highway 284. Monday through Friday, the store is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
For more information, call 952-466-5657 or email holiday@midcountycoop.com.
“Building in Cologne – Expanding for the future, and serving you with honesty, integrity, and value.”

Construction begins on Monday, Oct. 1. Beginning on Monday, Oct. 8, the main gas pumps will be re-routed to the diesel island. Customers will be asked to follow the map below to use the pumps on the far north side of the Diesel Island for gas.
Some important points during construction

• Customers will be asked to please move vehicles to a parking space after fueling if paying inside
• 89 octane will be the only gas available during construction at 87 octane prices
• The Diesel Island will be open for Diesel fuel as usual. Premium Diesel will be the same price as regular Diesel
To thank customers for their patience during construction, Holiday Cologne will be offering:

Agronomy jobs are available close to the Twin Cities
CARVER COUNTY, MN – For anyone who wants to live and work in a rural area but be near the Twin Cities, Mid-County Coop has a solution.
“We’re closer than you think – only a few acres away,” commented Mid-County Coop Agronomy Manager Scott Nelson.
Based in the City of Cologne on Highway 212 in Carver County, Mid-County Coop is 11 minutes from Waconia, 20 minutes from Eden Prairie, and 44 minutes from Minneapolis.
Cologne offers a strong agricultural district, a high-quality small-town rural lifestyle, and a wide variety of businesses, big and small. People who work in Cologne enjoy a low-traffic commute, with access to many career options.
Mid-County Coop is currently hiring full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions in its agronomy department. Opportunities range from agronomy application to yard maintenance/service to truck driving. Full-time staff receive a health insurance package, paid vacations, and other benefits.
“We offer flexible positions with competitive pay,” Nelson noted. “We have a fun and fast-paced atmosphere here, and we’re looking forward to adding more staff members to our team.”
Mark Karels recently sold Mark’s Service in Waverly to Mid-County Coop. Pictured are: store manager Missie Beckmann, Mid-County Coop General Manager Bill Reimers, Giny Karels, Mark Karels, and Waverly Mayor Connie Holmes.
After 43 years and seven months, Mark Karels is retiring as the owner of Mark’s Service in Waverly.
He sold the business – including a car wash, gas station, and convenience store – to Mid-County Coop effective June 21. Mid-County has been serving the Waverly area for many years, and General Manager Bill Reimers said he is looking forward to the coop’s continued community involvement.
Although much of the business is staying the same, customers may notice a few small changes. The new name, for instance, will be Mid-County of Waverly. Also, since the Tesoro brand is being phased out nationwide, the gas station will be rebranded sometime this fall.
“Compliments to Mark for running a good business,” Reimers said. “We plan to continue to operate as Mark did, as a successful convenience store. We’re keeping all the employees, and just building upon Mark’s successes.”
Karels has deep roots in the Waverly area. He grew up three miles south of the city limits, and currently lives in town, right next to his former business.
“Mark Karels has been and is a leader in the community, whether on city council, as fire chief, or as owner of Mark’s,” Waverly Mayor Connie Holmes noted. “You can always count on him to participate in every city event in a big way.”
Karels and his wife, Virginia (who goes by “Giny”), recently purchased 10.3 acres south of Waverly. They’re looking into either remodeling the home that’s on the property or building a new one. Either way, Karels expects the project will keep him plenty busy for the first couple years of his retirement.
Although he’s excited about retirement, Karels said he will miss many of his customers, and he is grateful for their loyalty over the years.
“It takes customers to keep a business going,” he commented.
For Mid-County Coop, the opportunity to purchase the gas station, car wash, and convenience store in Waverly was an ideal fit. Mid-County already has a bulk fuel business in Waverly, having purchased Padden Oil Company in 2000 and Howard Lake/Waverly Oil in 2003.
“We are happy that [Karels] has sold the station to such a reputable company,” Holmes noted. “Looking forward, we know that Mid-County will be an equally valued member of the Waverly business community.”
Mid-County Coop is locally owned and operated in Cologne, a community that’s similar to Waverly in many ways. They are both rural with strong agricultural districts, and they are similar in size. The 2016 population estimate was 1,598 for Cologne, and 1,412 for Waverly.
“Waverly is growing quickly, with nearly 80 new homes built in the
last two years,” Holmes commented.
In 2019, Waverly will celebrate its 150th anniversary. The community has attracted many residents due to housing, schools, and recreational opportunities.
Mid-County of Waverly can be reached at (763) 658-4662. The business is located at 801 Pacific Ave. (just off Highway 12), and is open Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
