“I stopped by this store/gas station for a quick gas and snack run. While the gas prices were a bit higher than I expected, the service inside the store made up for it. The staff were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. The cleanliness of the store was decent too, making it a reasonably pleasant stop. Overall, it's a good place for a quick pit stop.”

“Stopped in for a bit of gas, to use the restroom and to get drinks. The sweet young man behind the counter directed to the ladies room (it's a little tucked away). On our way in we noticed a room which housed various cat comfort items. We finished in the restroom, grabbed the last 2 cokes they had and went to check out. We asked about the cats, and the young man showed us his adorable cats! They were very sweet. Let us pet them for a moment, and we said our goodbyes!!”
