Thorntons is a gas station and convenience store located in Monee, providing fresh foods, high quality beverages, and fuel. It is noted for being always clean inside, with plenty to choose from, including fresh donuts even late at night and hot food like rollers and sandwiches. The staff is frequently described as very nice, pleasant, and minding their own business, often offering great smiles. For many, including truck drivers, it is a well-trusted place to stop.
However, some significant criticisms are noted. Parking can be problematic, with reports of tickets being issued in areas not clearly marked as no parking zones. A major complaint concerns the quality of the slushies, which have been repeatedly described as nasty, with a request for the issue to be fixed. Despite these points, many find it a reliable stop with good service and clean facilities.
