“We stopped by today (July 7) to get gas (and to get some Lokal chicken) and found gas to be 10 cents cheaper than Edmonton. I dealt with the pump payment but I did go into wash my hands and the young woman at the till was extremely friendly (maybe we should move to Blackfalds). I only mention it because such attention to customers seems to be becoming extremely rare. I actually will plan my trips between Edmonton & Calgary with a stop in Blackfalds. Well done people.”

“I always visit this branch because its just around the corner from my house, looks like they are new management right now, staff are friendly, pumps are pretty clean, before lots of pumps are not working, but right now everything was fixed and working, staff are giving and had a knowledge about the promos inside and some offering items to sell. Looks like they are getting more items and stuff to put inside.”
