News About Town: If you don’t get the Renfrow’s newsletter, you might not know the news about Exxon. According to the Renfrow’s crew, the downtown Matthews Exxon station will close its doors this month. Known throughout the community for its throwback charm by offering full service at the pumps, the Exxon station reflects the slow and attentive lifestyle Matthews is known for. The station has been a part of Matthews for decades, offering affordable, reliable car maintenance. As noted by Pressly and the Renfrow Crew, “The owner, Harry, is retiring and the rest of the guys are either retiring or have new jobs lined up. If these guys have had as much of an impact on your family as they have on us, I encourage you to stop by and see Scott and the crew before the 12th.”
