'KKR L&B Oasis' in Delong, new owners, same community tradition

Owners of the KKR L&B Oasis, formerly L&B Country Oasis, may be new to Delong, but the past month running the store has showed the Patel family the true meaning of community in a rural area, and they're embracing it.

 

Moving to Delong from Evansville, owner Junjal 'KP' Patel, says the store and the community is even better than he imagined it would be. KP plans to keep everything at the country oasis just as it was when the former owners Lynn and Bonnie Walters ran it, including the staff. 

 

The country store has a little bit of everything, from its famous fried foods, to necessities like toiletries, groceries and more.  Many in the area see the store as a something the locals depend on it without having to travel 15 minutes to closest town. 

 

KP says although their main goal is to keep it similiar to how L&B Country Oasis once was with the former owners, they do want to do a few upgrades. KP said he definately wants to be involved in the community just as the former owner had, and give back as much as possible.
