Unnamed New Gas Station Struggling To Find 'Stop 'N Go' Variant

CHARLESTON, WV—The grand opening of a Charleston-area gas station was put on hold Monday as its owner struggled to find an available “Stop ’N Go” variant for its name. “Already taken are ’Gas ’N Go,’ ’Stop ’N Fuel,’ ’Pump ’N Pay,’ ’Gas ’N Save,’ ’Pay ’N Go,’ ’Park ’N Pump,’ ’Fuel ’N Drive,’ ’Stop ’N Gas,’ ’Get ’N Go,’ ’Fuel ’N Pay,’ ’Buy ’N Leave,’ ’Fill ’N Flee,’ ’Tank ’N Peel,’ and ’Pay ’N G’way,’” said owner Marv Stoudt, who noted that he has even exhausted such British variants as “Petrol ’N Depart.” “We are trying to find a yet-unused permutation of two words separated by the fanciful abbreviation ’N that conveys some combination of gas, low price, stopping and going,” Stoudt said.
