    According to ASAP Energy Inc. President Rick Koch, site clearance is progressing at the corner of Hwy 152 & 183 in Cordell and construction of a new ASAP General Store is slated for later this summer. Koch says the company is currently building a store in Okeene and the Cordell store’s design will be based upon that format and will offer the same food and products. Cordell’s ASAP General Store will employee ten to twelve people.
