“This place has amazing luck if you purchase lottery tickets or scratchers! They've logged quite a few winners in that place. Plus they have one of the best Mexican restaurants, IF NOT THE BEST, restaurants in town on site. The girls love to joke around and give you a hard time, but I wouldn't trade it for Alta or Loaf'n Jug! ??”
“My boyfriend and I got there often an they got showers for truckers but it's like 20 bucks per shower the showers are nice and decent an u can take as long as u want as long as there isn't a lot of others waiting for shower”
“This is the only station I know of in town that sells ethanol-free gas. Everyone with a gas lawn mower should use this. Look on you tube. The ethanol in gas messes up the carburetor. It cost us a new one to find out.”
“had a terrible incident w an employee yesterday but jessica called me back from pueblo and was very concerned and helpful I was impressed that she followed up thank you”
“One-line Review: Affordable Fuel with a Rough Start! Value for Money: 4.5/5 Hygiene: 4.5/5 ➡️ First Impression: I visited Exxon at 420 Royal Gorge Blvd, Cañon City, CO 81212, to fuel up, but the trip started on a sour note when I lost my left AirPod stepping out of the car—a very bad memory. ➡️ What I Experienced: I filled up my car with fuel at a cheaper price, making it a great spot for a halt, despite the unfortunate loss. ➡️ Convenience & Value: The fuel price was a pleasant surprise—cheaper than expected—offering excellent value for a quick stop. The location was convenient, though the AirPod mishap overshadowed the ease. ➡️ Service & Environment: The atmosphere was good, with a clean and welcoming vibe. The service was decent, with staff being helpful when I mentioned my loss, though they couldn’t assist in finding it. The overall environment was pleasant for a pit stop. ➡️ Final Thoughts: Exxon in Cañon City is a great place for affordable fuel and a convenient halt, with a good atmosphere. The lost AirPod was a bummer, but I’d stop here again for the value—maybe with better care next time! Recommendations for Improvement: • Keep up the cheap fuel and clean environment! • Consider adding a lost-and-found area or signage for such incidents.”
“Love this place and their staff. There's a wonderful lady that sacrifices time with her grandbabies to work this establishment.. I fail because I can not remember her name. BUT she always gives good advice and splendid conversation. Then there's Dakota at night he's always charming and friendly. When you need it most he'll warp your perception of the moment and ask you a riddle that breaks every expectation. ❤️”
“Danessa was working today and when I say she goes above and beyond I mean it. Her customer service skills are top notch absolutely a pleasure and wonderful. Thank you!”
“I've been going here for years, since before Big Daddy's Diner used to be there. I'm always greeted with courtesy, and I've never had any negative experience here. The bathrooms are clean.”
“This alta is immaculate! Nothing is out of place, all the items in the store front facing, cups stocked, straws stocked, clean restrooms and friendly staff. Thomas, like the majority of canyon city, was polite, friendly and helpful.”
“Brian was the most helpful pharmacist I've ever met. Everytime we go there he's more then willing to help us quickly and effectively. He fills prescriptions on the spot (even if we're just checking on the status, or picking up another one and still waiting on that one). Brian also helps us with finding ways to best save money on our prescriptions. Best part he doesn't make such a process that's normally boring. He jokes around, has conversations with you, and is smiling all the time. Now may I say that he keeps us there because we haven't had the best experience with the pharmacy in general. Thatd why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. PLEASE KEEP BRIAN!”
“An interesting gas station / rest stop. Not particularly clean restrooms and they were out of paper towels. Good selection of products and they had a Subway restaurant inside. They also had a large Colorado souvenir area. The station was a little sketchy with the clientele in the parking lot, but that wasn't necessarily their fault. I guess I'll leave it at it needs a bit of work but it was alright to stop at.”
“Most of the time a nice quick trip in and out. Occasionally a disagreement with a cashier or machine won't print their rewards. Always clean. Management is always nice.”
