The Corner Store Fort Towson Oklahoma Hugo 74735 74743 Restaurants, Cafes, Gasoline Stations, Fast Food

The small town of  Fort Towson has 611 smiling faces.  We don't count the frowns around here, because there just aren't any...

According to the census...

• There are more women residents than men residents.
•  Approximately 62% of the adults have spouses.
•  70% of the homes are homeowner occupied.
• The median family income is between $21,000 and $22,000 so some businesses do not exist in Fort Towson as you'll discover in below.

Fort Towson does not have a restaurant or cafe, coffee-shop, sandwich shop, or anything similar that you would recognize from the street as a restaurant.  Restaurants are in nearby Hugo, Oklahoma or Paris, Texas , but there's a pleasant surprise waiting for you at Fort Towson.  Even though the town does not have a restaurant at this time, everyone knows where The Corner Store is, for a quick fast-food lunch that doesn't taste like fast food. 

Their fish and fries will compete with any fish restaurant.  For that traditional burger, they can't be beat either.  Pizza, yep!  They'll make you a salad, if you're being health conscience today too. You can fill your gas tank and fill your tummy tank at the same time, pick up a small bottle of propane, or they'll even make photocopies for you if you're up there doing business and can't get back to the office but need copies.  Even though we're not talking laundry here, but who knows you might spill some that special sauce on your shirt while dining at The Corner Store.  If so, Fort Towson's small laundry is right next door, part of the same building.

One thing about it being this way... I have been told that the Senior Citizen Center has a good turnout for lunch by those that are of the right age. Also I believe that there's more than the average number of folks that have each other over to their homes for dinner.  Promotes friends having dinner together in their homes!

The State Highway department has been working on widening highway 70 right through the middle of town for about 2 years now, so any current pics are full of construction.  Hopefully they will be finished soon.

Next relocation blog, we'll talk about Life on Lake Raymond Gary which is in Fort Towson!
