New Business Alert: A New Cenex & Sonic Coming To Mandan

The City of Mandan has a Lot Going for it

A new high school, a new middle school, the Starion Sport Complex, a great downtown vibe on Main Street, and plenty of amenities for its residents. Other than what's going on the Strip (Memorial Highway), but other than that, there's plenty to be optimistic about living in Mandan, North Dakota.

Now, get ready for TWO new businesses coming to West River, and they're both in the same building.

Tri Energy Cenex will be adding a New C-Store to Mandan & Sonic

I've been a big fan of Tri Energy Cenex since I moved to the Capital Region over six years ago. It just feels like home. We have a great Cenex location in Mandan on the Strip, where I work. It's kind of like the TV show Cheers over there, because all of the workers know you by name. So friendly and helpful. Same with the Cenex in Lincoln, where I live, and the location in Sterling is A-plus, too.

Where and when will the New Cenex & Sonic happen?

According to one of their managers, Tri Energy Cenex had hoped to break ground this past spring, but work has begun now, as you can see by the photo above. The Cenex and Sonic will be located by the new high school, which is located at 2330 4th Avenue Northwest, Mandan.

As I was told by one of the Cenex managers months ago, this new Cenex will be so much more than a gas station (it's going to be massive in size), he also had hinted at this Tri Energy Cenex location will have a food option, and we now know what that will be...SONIC, a food option that many in the Capital Region have been requesting for a long time. We will see how quickly this all comes together. Hopefully, sooner than later.
