“Store #110 is fantastic! It was my first visit, and I was impressed. Outside area around the building and the pumps was clean, the pumps were in great working order, and I appreciated the safety stickers on the credit card reader. The store interior was clean, orderly, and well stocked. THE RESTROOM WAS CLEAN AND IN GREAT SHAPE!!! And the customer service was excellent. I didn't get the name of the clerk, but he is tall, slender, with a salt/pepper beard, and deserves recognition from corporate. ??”

“$ 03/31/25 11:10am I don't normally get gas here but I needed to redeem some rewards points for $1 off per gallon. I followed the redemption instructions, points were removed from my account, however, the $1/gal was not credited. I went inside to explain the issue and I was impressed how the manager stepped in to resolve he issue. She knew exactly what to do, advised the clerk how to proceed, and I was on my way within a couple of minutes, problem resolved. I wish I got the manager's name because she did a great job.”

“I love this place! They are all so friendly and they have a legit conversation with you! They were my first friends when I moved to this town. They already knew what cigarettes I smoked. Haha! It's funny because every couple months I quit smoking ( I really do, then pick it up again and have to requit) and they laugh and say you'll be back. Granted they are always right lmao! If I can't find my drink in a bottle form they inform me that they gave it in fountain drink. Always give me friendly tips! I love all the workers there. Friendly, energetic, and caring! If they don't see my in my most driven car they already know what happens and send happy thoughts for my car to fix fast. Only gas station I go including my husband!”
