“I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid. I know all the faces at the front. I remember the candy bars I used to get as a kid on my birthday. Redbull recommendations in highschool. Now when I walk years later and I hear “I remember you” its very heart warming. Other than that the snack selection is top notch, they have a little section of exotic snacks and a bunch of cool knick knacks. I got my favorite hat here years ago. I will always remember my favorite little gas station. Thank you guys for the smiles!”

“The employees here are very bad, I paid, then they said the column doesn't work, they said in 30 minutes the money will be returned, I waited for an hour, they didn't return the Shell gas station, the salary is very bad”
