“This is just another gas station in Mill Bay. It is interesting how there is the Co-op gas station diagonally across the street and the price difference sometimes can be 20 cents diff. But usually this Shell is slightly more expensive than Co-op. It is attached to a convenient store. The convenient store does have some groceries items such as milk and cheese. There is also an ATM machine inside if you need some cash. It is also beside a few fast food restaurants such as McDonald or A&W.”

“This is what all neighborhood stations should be. I needed a big socket at work, my guy didn't show up, so I borrowed it from the service station! No problem, found the socket and rachet and let me borrow it. Didn't even ask when I'd bring it back. That's trust In your fellow man woman in my case, I did leave a deposit but it never would have replaced the tools.So niebourhood stations are there for you the shell and esso stations won't even let you borrow a gas can.”
