ROARING BRANCH — Family is very important to Shawna Lee and her husband, Johnny, who are owners of Midway Truck Stop in Roaring Branch.
The couple bought the restaurant from her parents in March 2018, a third-generation owned family business.
According to the history Lee provided, the Midway Truck Stop was named because of its location, halfway between Williamsport and Elmira. It was built by Marvin and Hanna Tebo in 1948. Originally, they only sold gas and diesel until the restaurant was finished.
Lee handed me information that was previously published in an earlier edition of the Canton Independent Sentinel, of which, states the history of Midway Truck Stop.
