Chemult
After a campaign to find the employees to staff it, a Pilot Travel Station opened
on Highway 97 in Chemult in late October. “We held three
job fairs and found four people who actually showed up,”
says Pilot general manager Jeff Watt. “And at the last
job fair I was offering a year of free gas.” But with the
help of Don Richie, director of non-traditional studies at
Klamath Community College and other local business owners, Watt
was able to hire the 27 people he needed to run the gas
station, convenience store and Subway sandwich shop.
