“It's a nice experience to go fuel up & get snacks for the road. As they may have some mix ups as they give alot of young ppl in our community to work & are training the new generation for work ethic & opportunities. So bare with them sometimes & the dogs that hang around are most likely not to bite they just hang around looking for food dont bother them they wont bother you but ask around before just trying take them please. We love our community gas station... Hope our out of town visitors will enjoy it too. Plus theres a Smitty's above it to get a nice hot meal before hitting the road again. ?”
