“So I stopped here at the store to get my friend a carton and cigarettes because they don’t sell menthol cigarettes in California anymore. I paid $120 from menthol smooth Marlboroughs. I don’t know if that’s a good deal or not but they had them so I got them. I also got some novelty items for my children. They had my daughter‘s name Grace on keychain and they had some pretty cool socks with cactuses on them for my son. The lady who took my money asked for my ID and that made me feel good because Lord knows I’m in my 40s nobody ever asks me for my ID.”

“At the time of this review, this location is still listed as a Chevron and not a Shell Gas Station; it is indeed a Shell (already reported). Overall, the location has everything a traveler may need. Being a mini-mart gives a plethora of food choices. My dogs especially enjoyed the fenced in pet relief station. It was a good size and they were able to stretch their legs. My one critique is the bathrooms need to be cleaned more regularly. Each restroom is single use, with a shower and there was liquid and debris that made the experience unpleasant.”

“The gas was reasonably priced. There were large entrances and exits for both gas and diesel as well as high rooflines for the larger RVs that use gas. There is also a gated dog area. We didn’t go inside but the store was on the larger side.”
