A historic Conoco station located along U.S. Highway 81 in Concordia, Kansas, will soon offer a creative experience for all ages.
Eighty-One Enterprises, LLC, owned by Lucas Chavey, recently purchased the property to remodel it for a new product line for his wife’s business. Sarah Chavey has owned and operated Moody Hue Studio for many years in a rented space in downtown Concordia. Renovations on the new location began in 2025, and Sarah plans to reopen it soon under the new name, The Break Pad, to reflect the expanded offerings.
The business will continue to feature its paint studio while also introducing a newly added plant bar. The plant bar allows customers to design personalized potted plant arrangements to take home and enjoy.
In addition to planting and painting, The Break Pad will also include a private event rental space for group planting and painting as well as other events such as bridal showers, social club gatherings, graduation parties, and committee meetings. The Break Pad is located in the main building of the old station at 137 E. 7th in Concordia. The north building (612 Lincoln) provides office space for the Chavey’s, while the garage area is being rented.
This project, which included the purchase of two commercial buildings and renovation of the space for The Break Pad, was made possible through investments from the owners, assistance from The Citizens National Bank in Concordia, and the NCK Business Down Payment Assistance Loan Program offered by NCRPC.
