“This is a great local business that still provides great customer service. Took my two RV propane tanks there for filling. I was met by an employee as i was getting out of my truck. He grabbed the tanks and told me to go on inside. The young woman at the counter was very friendly and got me checked out. The prices we were better than what I had been paying. My tanks were already loaded when I got outside. I will make sure to remember Country Gas when I need propane again.”

“Great place to get fuel while pulling a travel trailer. Pumps easy to get to and everything operated just fine. It was clean and well taken care of. We were looking for fuses for the trucks, but they did not sell them - which we found odd.”

“We’ve been on the road for a 5 day roadtrip and this Conoco has the nicest and cleanest bathrooms we’ve seen the entire journey. Don’t let it being an older building scare you off. Mike takes pride in keeping it clean and welcoming for travelers. Go see him if you’re passing by!”

“If your employees have enough time to wander around aimlessly, then they have enough time to clean up the trash all over your lot. Side note: there's quite a bit of activity behind this building that seems unmonitored. I'm not sure if it's negative activities, just a bit high and unnecessary. I used to help manage a Conoco, and had friends working at stations for years, so it's become natural to monitor activity outside.”
