“Always a reliable stop. Clean pumps, plenty of lighting at night, and usually stocked up inside with all the drinks and snacks I’m looking for. Never had an issue here card readers work, air and water stations are available, and the lot feels safe. Good for a quick in and out or to stretch during a longer drive. It’s just one of those gas stations that always comes through when I need it.”

“Do you want someone who's there for you 24/7? Hello, 7-Eleven. The Alamo location is located in a little shopping center that includes Rotten Robbies and the laundromat off of the Sycamore Valley exit, making it an easy stop if you're getting gas or doing some laundry. There's parking for a few cars up front. This location has pretty much everything you'd expect from a convenience store: snacks, drinks, lotto tickets. We picked up some jalapeño cream cheese and Monterey chicken taquitos last night, which were pretty good. My husband also got popcorn chicken on a skewer and a corn dog. The service was cordial and the place itself was clean enough for a typical convenience store. Im The only drawback is that the Slurpee machines were out of order. Based on some of the other reviews here, it sounds like this isn't the first time.”

“I was going to leave a one-star review because the pharmacy did not auto-fill my prescription. But... the pharmacist (a bigger person than me) saw my frustration and filled it on the spot. And the poor woman at the counter who endured my wrath was super nice through it all. So...maybe I need to leave myself a one-star review.”

“I'm writing this review because I was so pleasantly surprised after reading so many really bad reviews of this particular CVS store. Those reviews were about a year old, so maybe they took the feedback to heart and made some changes, My first visit there today was very good. I was greeted warmly on arrival, the store was well stocked and clean. The vaccination station was very clean and organized and the shot giver, Purvi, was excellent! The pharmacy manager was also cordial and helpful.”
