CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A Charleston gas station that's been filling gas tanks for 40 years is closing up shop.

Frosty's Chevron at the corner of Washington Street East and Morris Streets will close its doors forever on Thursday.

Owner Marvin Gray says he's ready to retire and he's not closing because of high gas prices. He says the business has changed quite a bit from when he started.

Frosty's is one of the last true service stations in downtown Charleston.
