“Nice station with a large variety of services and products. Big refrigerated and freezer section with lots of different food and snack offerings. 4 gas pumps and there are separate diesel pumps for bigger vehicles. Liquor store next door and a breakfast/lunch restaurant as well across the parking lot that serves great food. Has free air which I very much appreciate (and pump is well maintained which is even better since I'd rather pay for air that works then have free air that doesn't work as is often the case), as well as non-highway diesel which is great for my farm vehicles and generator since it is cheaper. The supreme-grade gasoline is non-ethanol, which I used to have to go all the way into Moscow for. Love it! Decent variety of fountain drinks - wish they had a Slurpee machine but probably shouldn't or I'd be there every day and 100 lbs. heavier. Hope springs eternal. Restrooms are always clean and functional. Couple of things I think could be improved. The hot food rack is often empty. I wish they would have more available all day like the service station in Deary or Julietta has. If you stop in after picking up your child from school at 3 pm for a hot snack, there's often nothing or maybe like a lone burrito. You have to have items in there to sell items, and keeping at least a few things throughout the day will generate more in sales then you'll lose from having to throw them out despite staff saying otherwise (because they don't want to put in the effort to cook it - I was in food service for many years I know the game). I am glad the fryer is working at least now. Was down for a very long time for some reason. The gas prices are higher when compared to Deary but that's Latah. The closer you get to Moscow in any direction the higher the gas prices get, but it wasn't always like this. Finally, why doesn't the station show up on the surveys that print out on every receipt? When you go to Gasfeedback.com and it asks you to select your location, the station doesn't show up as selectable or at all. This is odd considering the survey site prints out on every visit I make. Maybe something to look into? Overall a great stop and I am there quite often - as is everyone else apparently as it's always very busy. Keep up the good work!”
