About The McGregor Project
The McGregor Project is a long-term development initiative rooted in the town of McGregor, Iowa.
Nestled along the Mississippi River, McGregor is known for its scenic beauty, rich history, and distinctive small-town charm. Through a thoughtful, multi-phased approach, the Project supports local and regional businesses across hospitality, housing, dining, retail, entertainment, and tourism with a focus on sustainable growth and year-round activity. The initiative includes a mix of restored buildings, reimagined spaces, and locally inspired experiences designed to reflect the town’s heritage and identity. With an emphasis on authenticity, craftsmanship, and community connection, each phase is intended to build upon the qualities that continue to make McGregor a unique destination.
The Station
What do a Standard Oil gas station, an auto repair shop, and a burger joint have in common?
Originally a Standard Oil gas station born in the 1930s, The Station is inspired by Woerm’s Wiggle Inn, McGregor’s original burger place. Friday nights in McGregor were spent gathered around the jukebox, listening to music and watching people drive by. Blending nostalgia, community spirit, and classic comfort food, The Station on Main brings new life to one of McGregor’s most iconic spaces while honoring the site's rich history and local roots.
