“This is my local gas station. The one I mostly go to. The ladies that work there are always nice and go out of their way to be helpful. They can run out of some stuff, but there is a school and apartment building adjacent to them. So I can't really fault them for that.”

“This is a quaint, little ice cream parlor and deli tucked in the back corner of a local gas station. It's a tad rough around the edges with just the right amount of small-town vibe. (They can answer questions about huckleberries and puppies, too.) The red and white theme is timeless, and the ice cream is delicious.”

“Always friendly and convenient. Gas is usually the best price as well. I come here even if the gas station down the street is a little more because of the people who work here.”
