“I usually have an overall good experience any time I go into Jordan's in Colt. But on this particular day which was 6-15-23. I got a drink and some fuel. My order rang up $12.51 and I paid with a $20.00 bill and when the cashier Sheila gave me my change, she counted the one's back to me and they were kind of just all piled up in my hand unevenly placed and then when she got to my coin's she just slang it across my hand causing it to go across the counter further holding the line up. And I mentioned it to her, instead of apologizing she made up a lame excuse saying that the fan blew it over like that. And, I'm like really? The fan blew those quarters across the counter? Yeah right. And this isn't the first time she's done something annoying either. But I want you guy's in management to know exactly what it is when I go off on her in there, just know that I am getting tired of her doing that.”
“My favorite local spot in Widener, Arkansas! Best Catfish, Cheeseburger & Hot Wings in town! Shout out to the owner Brenda & her family!!! I do not leave Arkansas without stopping by to show some love and support!”
“This Exxon-branded gas station is doing business as Jordan's. As is typical and thus expected with convenience stores, the food, drink, and snack prices are high. They operate a Chester's Chicken counter inside. I'm mostly impressed with their immaculate restrooms. When in the area, this is my go to spot to get fuel. They sell both gasoline and diesel fuel. The fuel dispenser area is usually kept clean, and well-supplied with windshield cleaner and squeegees.”
“This is a quick convenient store. I can get in and out in just a few minutes. Gasoline is sold here along with lottery tickets. Pizza slices are available by the slice. Fountain drinks along with cans and bottles of soda and beer products. Are also sold here. You must take ID in with you and must be at least 21 years of age for alcohol sales. Cigarettes and lighters are sold here also. ID is also required for these products. Quick and fairly friendly service. Have a nice day.”
“I'm usually in a hurry or running behind on something but I've never had to wait for very long on getting checked out. Staff is friendly and helpful and as far as prices go no higher than any other that I've seen or delt with. They try to get their customers in an out quickly as possible..”
“I love there Chester's fried chicken but the price is expensive now. You used to get a box of 3 wing deal, potato logs and a roll for about $6 bucks now it has went up to about 8 or 9 bucks. Another thing the rolls used to come with the chicken now they're .99cents a piece. Much as I love there chicken I have to cut back. The burgers still sells for a reasonable price and there very juicy and delicious.”
“Very nice Super 8, in a quiet location just off I-40. Very nice lady on reception, any problems just ask her. Massive twin bed room 216 just up the stairs in the lobby. Superb HD TV, wifi was not good dropping a few times and weak,. Plenty of eating places and a Walmart across the highway, but happy to stay here again.”
“I’ve seen some strange things in my life, one of those strange things that I saw was here in Forrest City at this gas station. I couldn’t believe what I saw, so I took a picture to capture it. Turns out, it was real. I also bought a cool alien figurine here.”
