“This shell has been really sometimey lately, ever since they opened up the mini-mart side it's hit or miss on the pumps working. Other than that, they're cool.”

“I drive all over Cook county for work. When I'm in Park ridge/Eddison/South Park I always get gas here. Everyone is really personable. Especially the fair headed cashier. He always looks me in the eye and says thank you. That might not matter to everyone but it brightens my day a little.”

“Four star instead of five because all of the pumps are rarely in working order, however I have never had a harder-working attendant try to fix things for me at any gas station. A pump shut off in the middle of my transaction today, and he worked to figure out why, to help me keep my built up Fuel Rewards discount, to shift the discount to a different pump -- a bunch of things. None of it worked, something was (again) wrong with the pumps, but this attendant worked his butt off and deserves recognition.”

“This is our family’s gas station. We rarely go to any other place. The price of gas is usually lower than most places. The employees are always nice and polite. They always try to help even when I’m asking stupid questions. (I have my days. lol) We love the gas discounts. And all the other discounts. It’s a good friendly place to go. I always recommend it to everyone. Keep up the good work.”

“Got gas right before returning my car, grabbed a few snacks and a lotto ticket. I won $100 they couldn’t cash it in. I had to go to the grocery store across the road that was able to do it.”

“Ali, helped me tremendously on New Years days when I was stranded on the side of the road for the first time in my life. He allowed me to stay in the gas station and offered food to warm me up. What a great guy.”

“This 7-Eleven store has very friendly staff, very clean (including the bathrooms), food is fresh, and merchandise is fully stocked. A great gas station for Uber Drivers such as myself to fuel up and get some refreshments.”
