“Although prices were high compared to the Springs, it was the cheapest around if you include the 13¢ reward. Great access to US 50, and a fair amount of space to maneuver around if you have a trailer. Great selection of items inside as well. 2.59$ in Late Summer, is what you should expect.”

“Good selection of convenience store items. Nice air-conditioning and clean. The parking lot and gas pumps is wide and lots of room to maneuver your vehicle. Checkout was fairly fast and was friendly and prompt. Hopefully they will accept Bitcoin one day and then get the 5th Star.”

“The only reason that initial review wasnt 5 stars was the card readers at the pump werent working. But that can happen anywhere. Went inside to pay and the employee I spoke too was really super nice. Easy in and out on my travels (even in my 25 ft camper van). Extra points for owner responding to review! Nice!”
