The van is no longer Scooby Doo. It has been painted green and is outside of another business now.

Sure, the vehicles may be a little run down, and maybe this isn't the main point of your trip, but I hit it on the way from Grand Junction to Arches National Park and was not disappointed. Fantastic selection of all kinds of jerky!

Don't plan to buy your gas here - it's marked way way up! Visited in June 2021.

Probably should have read tips before pulling over. The only car still there is the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, and I've seen more impressive Mystery Machines driving down the highway. Gift shop looked interesting, but I was there to see funny cars for photo ops, not buy popcorn.
[Bryan, 06/18/2019]Total bust. You can now barely recognize Lightning McQueen and Sally and the Scooby Doo van is now non-existent.
