“The best liquor/corner store in Benicia My friend and i hit up 5 different stores looking for a certain type of soda (Faygo) When we walked in, the associates offered us assistance and we asked them if they carried it They assisted us and thoroughly checked their inventory and we ended up finding what we were looking for They even offered to pour it up in cup with ice for us and I was surprised by the low price I paid for 4 drinks Overall a great shop with great service and great selections”

“I stop here a lot on my morning commute, the woman (I’m sorry I forgot to ask for her name) who is always working around 7am is really good at her job. It’s the cleanest and most well appointed extra mile that I know of, she is always really friendly and helpful. Shout out to a hard working person, I see your hustle.”

“I purchase gas here biweekly and once or twice I have gone inside to buy water and have met a very diverse group of employees who have been nothing but professional, friendly and helpful. That said, I don't enter yhe store with an attitude or act entitled. Never met anyone who acted racist and if I had I certainly would not make a racist or ageist statement about anyone. I have not had any issue with pump speed or receipt printing. I can't speak to the cash payment method because I use my contactless payment method on my mobile device. I generally don't need a printed receipt because I do not need them for business travel. Since I value my lungs I do not smoke but I am aware that some people do, and that their proof of age is required just as it is for alcohol. The law requires asking for this and companies comply for everyone. These laws are to protect consumers, not harrass them.”

“I had the best experience here yesterday morning! After filling my tank with really expensive gas on my way to Solano County Superior Court, I decided to run in and grab a coffee. It was a lot earlier than I usually get up and I was picking up a friend in Benicia on the way to the courthouse.The employee working was running TWO registers and had both lines moving smoothly when I went to check out. When I didn't put in my phone number for the buy seven, get one free deal, she nicely reminded me, but I told her I'm not a regular, just on my way to court to watch the animal cruelty case on the girl who tortured my late-sister's 3 cats. She wished me luck, expressed her support and angst at animal cruelty and sent me off with a smile.She was so efficient and awesome. It was really nice!”

“Renu and San-deed are my favorite two people they are always so courteous and helpful and always greet you with a smile. I am going to miss them so much. Can't wait until the store open again they make my day.! P.S. second street store in Benicia.”

“Huge property - lots of fuel outside the store (Texaco). This convenience store has lots of offerings and seems organized and clean. I like the self checkout because it’s quick and doesn’t require me to wait in line or talk to the cashier. Highly recommend doing that and stocking up on snacks here-lots of good options! Staff sometimes isn’t even around when I’m there at night, but they seem nice otherwise.”

“I like to use 7-Eleven gas with my app. I like the feeling of saving money. Paying thru the app also ensures there is no credit card scam at the pump. I also paid for my car wash and the car turned out quite well for a drive thru. The options in the store are great when you are traveling.”

“CVS is definitely better than Walgreens in all aspects of the store from personnel to all the inventories available in the store. I also love the drive thru for prescription pickup.”

“Always a very pleasant experience at this location, the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. I recently had an experience where I lost my wallet and decided to call every place I had visited that weekend, this Chevron included. I spoke to Gary who was very nice and helpful and told me that my wallet was found by their team and was locked in the safe. I accidentally dropped it right before getting a car wash and I guess someone in a red truck tried to make off with it but ended up accidentally dropping it while driving away. I went the next day to pick it up from the main Manager Mercedes who was very kind and quickly retrieved it for me after showing her proper proof of my identity. There was even a note on the wallet saying “Make sure Samantha picks it up” which I’m also grateful for because the original would-be thief might have sent someone else to try and claim it to be theirs. Mercedes asked me to look inside and make sure everything was there, which to knowledge, looked to be the case. Thanks again you guys!”
