“Stopped by this gas station on my way home last Friday, and the evening shift was a total breeze thanks to Ashok. He’s got that rare combo of efficiency and genuine chit-chat—filled up my tank while sharing tips on the best local eats without missing a beat. No long waits, even during the after-work rush; he handled everything like a pro. Clean pumps, quick service, and Ashok’s positive vibe made a mundane errand feel welcoming.”

“A short time ago I lost over $500.00 worth of keys while visiting this location. The owners immediately took interest and notes were on their pumps. Week later my keys were returned to me by a customer who read them.. Very clean establishment and staff go extra mile. Worth the stop.”

“This is a great corner gas station convenient for me on my way to work or on the weekend if I need to stop over and top up. The place has convenient hours and a small shop attended by friendly staff. They offer typical prepackaged convenience items: sodas, snacks, canned food, cigarettes, lottery tickets. I rarely wait for service here, as thete are enough pumps. They offer a variety of gasoline types and the gas pump operates in a straightforward manner with clear instructions. Receipts are available if you want one; watch for the prompt after dispensing your gasoline. There are designated parking spots for those who are not purchasing gasoline so the pumps are not blocked. There is an entrance/ exit on the side and at front, making this stop a clean drive through for me. The prices are good and it's a clean, convenient refueling stop for me.”

“Easily some of the nicest gas station attendants in Middletown, potentially all of Central Connecticut. They've got covid guide lines in place to protect customers but what I think I like the most about this gas station is that there is an abundance of off station parking just to the right of the building so if your intention is to just run in and grab a snack or a smoke you don't have to get in the way of other customers trying to buy gas, solid set up.”

“I fill up here a lot during work and I've never had any kind of problem. Inside is very clean and I have had no problems with the pumps. They're rarely out of order. Prices aren't too bad either. I think they're cheaper than the sunoco across the street.”

“Been going to the shell station for a a few years. Today, I came in after buying a defective device from them. They made the exchange super easy, was in and out within 5 minutes. Clean facility, friendly staff. Gas prices suck right now, but that's not on them.”

“Staff friendly and the store is clean and well stocked. Lost over $500.00 of keys. Staff allowed me to post reward signs and eventually secured them. Refused reward and assisted me remarkably. I actually go out of my way to bring my business there.”

“It's a quaint college town with an eclectic downtown. In the warmer weather there are many outdoor dining options and cafes. With the notable exception of Dunkin most are local businesses. A lot has been done to clean up the vagrancy that once may have deterred visitors. I now feel it is a safe place to visit and enjoy window shopping. There are also nice greenspaces such as along the CT River at harbor walk, accessible on foot via an underground passageway evading route 9.”

“No frills gas and convenience store. On a small site with four pumps it can get a bit chaotic at times, but usually is an open pump or one opens in a few minutes. Sampled over the last 6 months it has had the lowest price gasoline in the area. Having not been inside, no details there.”
