“Friendly staff, big selection, name brand gas, and at any price the cheapest price on gas in 30 miles, plus good little restaurant next store, and u hauls for rent if needed. Sometimes there's a line for the gas, but worth it. The best privately owned gas station I've seen in a long time”

“We've stopped here many times over the last couple years - this gas station / convenient store is a nice halfway point between Blue Ridge and Ellijay. The prices are always the cheapest, and even more importantly, the store is neat and clean and easy to find everything. And the restroom is modern and well-maintained, unlike the usual gas station restrooms. A great bonus is the girl behind the counter is beautiful! ? They also have boiled peanuts, beer / wine / liquor in addition to all the usual treats. Feels good to have a go-to gas station in the area! Thanks, Ideal Mart, for rising above the competition! See you next time!”
