“certainly not the friendliest people (looking at you cashier lady that has the personality of a cardboard box) but it’s typically clean. lower probability of running into someone who’s from lincoln than the in-town stations.also best selection of sunflower seeds in town”

“The location is great, but the entrance needs improvement. The store is a great size, but they don't always keep things stocked, like lids for fountain drinks. The customer service could use some improvement. Many times there's no communication, aside from the total cost. A thank you is not always in order here.”

“Their gas is more expensive than at other exits. Nice and clean store with clean restrooms. Very friendly employees this time. Lots of snack items that look really good! We would stop here again.”

“Typical Midwest gas station. Cheap fountain drinks, fuel, cigs, and junk food. Staff is always friendly and floor is usually pretty clean. It can get messy at the fountain drink station but that's not their fault nobody can fill up a cup of coke without spilling it all over the floor. Pretty busy in the afternoons, lines can form up pretty fast. Especially when someone is buying $10k worth of scratch offs.”

“The owners are the kindest people, and the store is always fully stocked! I was so excited that this was the first place I found the Witches Brew Alani this year.”

“We wanted a quick bite to eat while traveling. We stopped for gas and saw that they had a deli. Got some pizza slices and a Crispy Chicken sandwich. Both were excellent. No problems.”

“This gas station seems well-suited for both truck drivers (though can't speak specifically for the truck drivers) and passenger vehicles, with separate fueling areas for each. I visited with a car and found plenty of pumps available in the front, making it easy and quick to refuel without waiting. The convenience store is well-stocked with a variety of snacks, drinks, and travel essentials. They offer a good selection of fountain drinks, and for those looking for a quick bite, there’s a small grill inside that serves hot food. Additionally, there's a Steak 'n Shake attached to the station for more substantial meal options. I didn't order any food this visit. The bathrooms were well-maintained and fully stocked. Overall, it's seems to be a solid choice for both truck drivers and regular motorists looking for a clean, convenient place to refuel and take a break.”

“I love this store I go there almost daily. The day manager is awesome and so friendly. The entire staff staff is always helpful and friendly. Store is always clean and well stocked.”

“Seems pretty nice just caught them at a bad time. They were in the middle of tearing out all their diesel pumps for the trucks. Thankfully, they didn’t block off their truck parking, but the truck or side of the gas station interior was closed off for renovations too, including their beverage coolers. Shake shack was unaffected.”

“I had a passport photo completed at another Walgreens that did not meet requirements I was sent to this location for reprint while at the passport office. They not only double check to make sure everything was correct but also waived the charge. They were beyond helpful and everyone at the location was so friendly”
