BUCKLEY – Buckley is finally getting gas.

Tim Wells, an entrepreneur from Canton, said Thursday he has purchased Buckley's only grocery store and plans to install fuel pumps in the store's parking lot in the next several weeks, hopefully by Aug. 1.

Buckley, a town of about 600 people in southern Iroquois County, has not had a gas station in more than a decade, village board President Ardell Goetting said.
