“As of today, any moment DEA will be publishing that Kratom Products, Concentrated & Synthetic 7-OH are Schedule I. I respectfully ask these be taken off your shelf ASAP. Traditional Botanical Kratom Leaf is still ok to sell and allowed for. Please do not get caught in the sudden change over. Any sale of the concentrated versions, the moment its published will subject the store AND its employees to federal level fines. The Pending Ban: Once the DEA officially publishes the final order in the Federal Register, selling these concentrated 7-OH products instantly becomes federally illegal. No grace period allowed for. The Penalties: Because Schedule I is the most restrictive tier, shared with drugs like heroin, the moment the order activates, the stores owner and employees can face federal drug distribution charges, asset seizures, and heavy fines. Great place, Great staff, Great owner.”
“We frequent this place and love our experience every time. This store is seriously amazing. All the staff there are such great people. I highly recommend coming to this store. Well worth your time and worthy of your business.”

In closing GOODIES 76 DON'T CHANGE A THING!!!!! ??”
“This place is awesome! Prices are good and the array of products is the best! I probably spend more money on gas driving here because it’s my favorite place around. It has such a great variety of the products I like (and that my kiddos like), and the staff is pretty much just the best! :) As well, it feels like they’re always working to make the place better and offer more!”
“I went there fueled up it was nice and quick they had Google pay . Hey I think they have a restroom there but I'm not for sure they snacks is your picture it's you know what's in a regular convenience store this is like super compact convenient stuff that everybody wants.”
“Best gas price in town consistently and free air. Love they still have that as a service spot. I always choose them because air should be a free option at a gas station. I will literally seek them out because of that and they always are the best price.”
“I got gas. It didn't shop in the store because everything's so expensive. This gas station is hard to get to. But they do what they say, they sell gas.”
“We celebrated Mother's Day at Red Lobster. The food was delicious and the service was A+. The restaurant was at least 90% full. This was totally expected based on the day. That being said, our food was served quickly, and it was good. The Manager stopped by our table to make sure everything was OK. It was apparent everyone was having a good time and we will definitely return. Our server, Cathy was on top of everything. I was impressed because she was working a number of tables at the same time and made every customer welcome.”
“We stopped in today on our way through, and everyone in the car commented on how nice the lady working was. We also enjoyed the crazy sticker vending machine by the bathrooms. The bathrooms were also surprisingly clean.”
“Just came in here to have a look around for some souvenirs and get a root beer from the soda fountain. The store has a great selection of snacks, drinks, clothes and other souvenirs. But what really stood out was the lady on the cash register, she had a very cute dog with her and she was so friendly and happy to have a nice conversation.”
“I always get gas there when I travel through Hayden. They also have a great selection of frosty drinks!!! I forgot to mention that the staff there is always helpful and very courteous. You need help, they are there to assist you with any questions you might have.”
“I have been coming here for years & I have to say I am impressed with how kind, helpful & great at his job Marcus is! Also, each time I walk in Jessica is also such a bright, kind & sweet helper too! Every time I leave there I think how this is my favorite gas station because of those two. Thanks for always brightening my day both of you!”
“Beware, they trick you on their signage saying a lower gas price but in order to get that price you have to get their nitro card and link your bank information to it. So look at the higher price on the sign thats what your paying. Nom Nom will give you the discount with membership without linking your bank account.”
“I think the purple haired girl is awesome an always acts professionally she's the reason I shop here she's funny helpfull always brightens up a bad day with her silly lil jokes an dose her job just fine that one star guy is prob just a grumpy old male Karen that didn't get his way so he "demanded the speak to the manager"??”

“I have been coming here since I was a little girl. I always called it the popcorn place... that magical place mom brought me just for popcorn that I brought my son to just for popcorn! And now we live across the street. He’s amazing. A truly heartwarming man. When I go in there and I see all his friends gathered around watched tv and warming up food eating, just laughing.. you walk in and they all say hi! They truly are that little neighborhood place you want to go. And him and all his friends make my day. Any time of the day. Soo thank you “neighbor” for being apart of my life for the last 30 years and now being a part of my sons and all of his little buddies ❤️ he will always remember you like I have.”
“This is our favorite store to stop at several times a week. We know the owners and all the gals that work there and they're a great bunch of people and always watch out for us locals. ❤️”
“I accidentally dropped my credit card at 5:30am this morning and didn’t realize it until late afternoon. Drove back on my way how at 4:00pm to see if they have found it (with little hope I must admit). And they had it ready for me behind the counter! So happy! THANK YOU for your honesty! (I confirmed that no charges hit the card while it wasn’t in my possession).”
“I can honestly say the customer service came full circle ..I had a professor say I could teach customer service. I do believe a lesson can always be learned. Good job on the service youngster. Have a good day goes along ways.. .”
“Fantastic service. Their housemade waffle cones were amazing after a hot summers day and very affordable especially with the quality and quantity you get! We will definitely be returning and are thankful for the little gas station in a small town!”

“I live in the area, it's a great place. Like a store from The Andy Griffith show. Don't cone here and talk politics just be polite, kind, and respectful.”
“I've literally been going here for the last 9 years and staff have always been amazing. They do community driven charity events, it's always clean and they have ethanol free premium.”
“When I lived in CDA, this was my go-to C-Store for gas and smokes, directly off of the I-90 ramp. There were establishments much closer to where I lived, but the people kept me coming back. They've seen me at my worst at 1:59 AM; impeccable customer service even at the most ungodly hours of the night. Good effin people. Solid selection of pretty much anything else you'd want, as well. There are two guys with gnarly beards who work there; next time ya see em, ask if they're related. I moved back to western WA six months ago, but on my most recent trip back east to my former stomping grounds, the Conoco on Appleway was my first stop.”
