Fuel pump problems found at these Wichita gas stations during October inspections
Seven Wichita gas stations were found with problematic fuel pumps during the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s October inspections. The state Gas Pump program tests more than 20,000 fuel pumps every year to ensure dispensers and meters meet state regulations. This includes checking fuel quality, pricing accuracy and correct labeling. Every gas station is inspected every 18 months, and also after customer complaints or when follow-up inspections are needed. About 95% to 97% of the time, the fuel pumps meet compliance standards. If a pump doesn’t meet state requirements, the pump is rejected. Common reasons that pumps are rejected include issues with the equipment, incorrect pricing or product labeling and failure to provide the customer with a receipt. If a fuel pump fails, or is rejected, the gas station must repair it within a set number of days or request an extension. The pump will then be reinspected. Here’s what state inspectors reported in October in Wichita.

Wichita bakery has quietly been selling homemade bread, croissants since spring

Dinky Bread opened in May in the space on the lower level of the Garvey Center , 220 W. Douglas, that most recently was occupied by a different bakery called Jake’s Fresh Bakes . The space also has been home over the years to Perfect Plate and an outpost of Reverie Roasters . The new bakery is owned by engaged couple Allie Owens and Ryan Porcu, who started their business at the Kansas Grown Farmer’s Market in 2025. From their booth, they’d sell Allie’s flaky croissants and crusty loaves as well as Ryan’s homemade cookies. The booth quickly earned return customers and frequently sold out completely before the market closed. Porcu said he realized that Owens — who he nicknamed “Dinky” — had skills that would be in demand in Wichita and suggested that they find a brick-and-mortar location. The two found the vacant space at the Garvey Center. They’re now open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, when they sell fresh-baked croissants, pastries, sandwiches on Owens’
