“Stopped here to ask for a plastic shopping bag for my daughter to use when she got car sick. As I was getting ready to leave the women working there were so kind and helpful to ask to bring wet paper towels to wipe her up and a cold ziplock bag of wet paper towels for her forehead. Thank you for making her morning a lot better and mine too! The world is a better place with these nice women in it!”

“Friendly employees and the place is always clean. I just read a snide comment from someone who said "love the smoking area outside of store and gasoline being flammable is so overated".
