A royal flush fuels profits for gas station

Posted 03.29.2005 by Logjam
Imagine pulling into a gas station and needing to go so bad that you have no choice but to use their restroom. You cautiously open the door and see --

-- "A chandelier sparkling overhead from a recessed ceiling. Sculptured art and a floral arrangement adorn glistening faux travertine walls. Ornate silver columns rise from the Italianate slate floor to support a wide marble lavatory and reach to a soffit that hides a pair of recessed spotlights. Gold-plated water fixtures are attached to a graceful oval sink..."

Either you're dreaming, or you've pulled into Moghadan's Chevron station in West Covina, California. Moghadan went to work on his grand bathroom thirteen years ago. "I wanted to give the restroom the greatest look I could... to show how much I respect my customers," Moghadan said. So he asked his brother, architectural designer Nassar Moghadan of Hemet, to concoct something that motorists wouldn't forget.

"It's the best restroom I've ever seen," said West Covina motorist Jose Montes. "You feel like you're rich when you're in there."

Moghadan gets about twenty compliments a day from customers using the facilities. "I have customers from Palm Springs and Las Vegas who make a point of stopping here. Some even bring in relatives to show them the bathroom," he said.

So next time you're tooling through West Covina, with one tank reading empty and the other reading full, pull into Moghadan's station and check out his throne. And don't forget to bring the family.

Have we got any LA-area PoopReporters? Someone needs to make a pilgrimage!

This is a great find. I would like to see more pictures of the Taj Mahal of convenience store bath rooms. I wish that all such places had forward thinking owners like Moghadan.

LJ, I will be driving from Little Rock to L.A. next month, and will look up this gem. By the way who is that in the picture? Moghadan? Nassar? Logjam?

PD, it will be great to get an update and insider view on this piece of work. Take pictures. The guy in the photo, I believe, is the proud father, Moghadan. I'd tell him you are on assignment and ask for the VIP tour. Also find out if that is a snack bar right in the restroom. Don't forget to include a picture of your rig out in front of the place. (And if I were you, I'd etch my initials into that marble sink -- OK, I'd settle for the underside).

I travel to Covina when I can, not too often lately as money is tight. I will make it a definite must next time I am there, or at the very least, have one of my friends write up a report.

Ahhh... *sigh* reminds me of home... (not the decor you understand, more the spiral turds caused by my mothers habit of cooking me fillet steak in cream cheese)

like a constipated accountant- I worked it out with a pencil.

LJ, the rig driving has been over now for a while (nyc road rage got to me). I will be in a car with my son. My route will take me past Covina, and I plan to stop. That snack bar appears to be outside the palace door, in the store portion of the station. With the mirror it does look a bit like it is inside. I'll get pictures. I don't want to vandalize what may well be the eighth wonder of the world. How about I unleash a steaming bowl of fecal fondue and clog the terlet?
