Broadway Flying J, Spokane, Wash., is celebrating its 45th anniversary.
Forty-five years ago, Don and Bernice Alsaker opened the doors to their business that is now run by their son, Dan Alsaker. Alsaker started working at the family business in 1972 - the same year he graduated from college with a business degree.
"During one of my first days on board, my dad approached me and told me he was going to put me on a half-day schedule. It was a 12-hour schedule and I could pick any 12 hours I wanted," Alsaker said. "We all worked 12-hour days to keep the doors open."
To celebrate its anniversary, Broadway is planning several events, including two that will give back to its community and customers. "We have committed ourselves to raising $100,000 during our anniversary year for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and we are going to be sponsoring a $7,000 truck customization giveaway with the Chrome Shop Mafia," Alsaker said.
Broadway has grown from one location and now has over eight travel plazas, six restaurants, two quick-serve chains and eight casinos.
