He gives free coffee to local mail carriers. He is a great guy. His fuel station has a little ceaser's pizza, autoparts store, and a milk shake machine. I also get my propane here.”

“Best prices for gas. This store has a lot and a few surprises, like a salad bar. Staff have been mostly stellar and you can tell customer service is important to management. The only bummer is when ppl leave the gas pumps and go into the store, wait time for the pump being available, tends to be longer than average. I usually go when i need to fill up, so it doesn't bother me to wait a little. Its cool there's a ziggys in the same parking lot and we finally got our much needed car wash.”

“Low gas prices, plus 110 octane no-methanol race fuel at the pump! Great for classic vehicles, and small yard equipment engines because of the longer shelf life.”

“I come here 5-6 days a week and no matter who’s working, the service is always provided in a quick and professional manner. All of the staff are friendly and I feel as though I’m truly welcome here. Likely due to the manager Veronica. The business truly flourishes with such capable and reliable leadership at the helm. I’ll always be back ?”
