“We passed by today and noticed that the store is closed on Sundays and Mondays. When he saw us, he asked my husband what he needed. We wanted to buy a bushel of green peanuts and he opened up for us when he learned that we came from Illinois. He told us that Bob was his father who started the business. He is kind and very accommodating. We’ll come back again to patronize this business.”

“By far The BEST & NICEST customer service I have ever encountered at a convenience store. I'm a truck driver, and I encounter a lot of counter personnel. Majority could care less, and are only nice (if at all), because they're paid to be, and it's their job. Not at Hobo Pantry in Headland, Alabama...they were genuinely nice, and very helpful in ways they didn't have to be.They will definitely be my "Must Stop At" when I pick up a load in Headland, AL.They also have semi parking, which is a big plus!”
