“Most of the fuel bays were full when I arrived so I was unsure if I would be able to get my 28' RV into a spot. However, the pumps are fairly far apart so I was able to maneuver into the fuel bay without too much difficulty. I also appreciated that they offer several grades of gas as I have recently come across several on my trip that only offer the 10 or 15 percent blends.”

“Having lived here in the Boron area, off & on since the late 60's I have seen the Boron Food Market at it's worst and best.It's current state in August of 2022 is certainly NOT as bad as it can get, and in fact has much improved under the current management/ownership.I am not being overly generous to rank it- "Good" with 4 Stars. That's a solid rating which hedges on "Excellent" were it not for a few somewhat minor issues; chief among them is PRICE for goods. After which is product variety; not only in type, but brand. Both of which can readily be explained by the fact that this store lies well off the beaten path as far as deliver routes go, which requires extra cost in delivery from those grocers who will even bother to do so; and that cost must be passed on to the Consumer. Even then, not everything can simply be delivered, and the store Manager must make routine trips to larger cities such as Bakersfield, Barstow, Lancaster, and Palmdale just to acquire them. Does anyone think this additional cost in the Manager's time and travel expense should not be paid for by the Consumer? If you do- you are being unreasonable and ridiculous.In summation, I am glad we have the Boron Food Market and know that we would suffer badly out here without it. And while I will likely always do my major food shopping in Lancaster/Palmdale stores; I will none-the-less continue to support the Boron Food Market with my "interval needs"; i.e.- fresh milk, ice cream products, and other perishables etc.I would suggest the same for anyone who lives here. It's the old "You'll never know how much you'll miss something until it's gone" conundrum. Did you know we once had a Bowling Alley? A small Theater? An indoor Skating Rink? All gone now thanks to a lack of Public support. It is WE who make the Desert feel much more desolate than it need be. Just keep that in mind.”
