Waspy’s Truck Stop, under the leadership of Lawrence “Waspy” and Doris Hanlos, has invested more than $7 million to create Waspy’s Travel Plaza. The Waspy’s have farmed in the area for years and responded to the community's need for a truck stop to serve the thousands of vehicles that pass by on Highway 141 or journey to Templeton for Templeton Rye. The facility provides a full-service restaurant, groceries, fuel and car wash. After successfully launching the Templeton facility, they built a similar $18 million complex in Audubon, Iowa. Waspy’s Truck Stop was nominated by Raccoon Valley Electric Cooperative.
