OK, here's the scoop.
The Casey's General Store at 208 E. Butler Street in Fort Recovery, Ohio, Station ID #199375, opened Friday, July 26, of this year. I have tried to change the status on GasBuddy from "Closed - Temporarily" to "Active/Open for Business", but each time has been unsuccessful and it is still "Closed - Temporarily". IOW, I--and my fellow GasBuddies--cannot report prices for it on the GB app. (And it has UNL 88 aka E-15, which was part of one of the daily challenges once!) I am able to do this with most other stations like BP, Marathon, Speedway, etc. I think for a while Shell and Phillips 66 stations had the same issue where we couldn't update stations.
I even went so far as to talk to an employee and the store manager at the location, thinking they had more authority to change the station's status since they have more ties to Casey's than I do, but neither were familiar with the GasBuddy app.
So what is my option to get the station entry to reflect the reality that it is open?

To reopen a station on the 'Verified' program (that is, locked for editing by us common GasBuddies), you'll have to go to help.gasbuddy.com and request help from the staff.
Thankfully Shell and Conoco/Phillips 66 have been off it for some time, but BP just went on as an entire brand.

Well, when I went to the GP app on October 30 of this year, lo and behold, it was marked as open! (I went to Casey's General Stores' website and told them about the station being open and GasBuddy not reflecting it prior to that day, so I think I had a role in the change. Of course, ALL of the Casey's locations were in the "Recently Edited" list of "Master Station List Recent Changes" on the website, so I might not be the hero you're making me out to be as you read this--LOL.)

A gas station in Livermore, CA, has changed from Valley Gas to Angle Petroleum. I have notified the GasBuddy Admins too many time already. No one cares.

Thanks. Let's revolt and take Gasbuddy back.

A gas station in Livermore, CA, has changed from Valley Gas to Angle Petroleum. I have notified the GasBuddy Admins too many time already. No one cares. I went ahead and made that change for you; www.gasbuddy.com/Station/1699.
I made the edit in the MSL (Master Station List). Here's where the edit would happen from your HomeSite; www.californiagasprices.com/AddMasterStation.aspx?SM_ID=1699. (but, actually, any HomeSite URL would work. For example, I, myself, edited it here; www.floridastategasprices.com/AddMasterStation.aspx?SM_ID=1699.)
One has to have a minimum of a million points to be allowed to edit, but you have over 10 million, so it's no problem.
I actually see that you had already used the MSL for this very station 12 years ago, and the photo uploaded is yours from 4½ years ago.
I know that GasBuddy support responds to few, if any, tickets, anymore. My theory is that the disastrous Wex partnership has overwhelmed their support system.
This, and other MSL related things, are often discussed, here; gbo.freeforums.net/threads/recent/139/master-station-list-msl.Original post removed at author's request. Copy retained to preserve thread, now locked because discussion stopped a while back, probably because there was nothing left to discuss further.
