“Used to go here when I was a kid in the mid '90s. My friends and I lived in the area so we would walk or ride our bikes. I can't remember his name but the guy who worked there everyday would drop handfuls of swedish fish at a time to land into the glass lid of the mason jar he kept them in and he would count them as they fell. My friends and I would get a dollars worth and sit out front eating them always in disbelief that it was exactly 100 every single time. Life was more simple back then and people were happy.”

“I’ve been having a pretty hard time getting around since I Injured my knee earlier this summer. I need surgery on it, and need the electronic scooters to get around in store. Now many stores you go to, especially other large chains, do not have motorized scooters readily available. You typically have to ask around, stand and wait, and sometimes I have even left because stores have none available. At the Meijer in Elgin, there is a greeter at the front of the store name Toni/T”

“My coffee machine recently broke, so I started stopping here for a cup before work. I thought it would just be for a few days, but it's been a month, and it's become part of my routine. Kristy rings me up every morning, and she's an absolute delight. It genuinely feels like visiting a friend, to the point where I feel bad if I miss a few days. Maybe it's just me craving that small-town community feel, but the fact that I get it here should tell you everything about the atmosphere the staff has created.”

“I’m unsure why this place has 3 star rating. They get a 5 star from me. I’ve been coming here for YEARS lmao. I think the staff are very polite. Their energy drinks are just as cheap if not cheaper than most stores. This place deserves some better reviews. They also have some pretty sick glass and good tobacco/nicotine selection.”
1660 W Main St, St. Charles IL 60174
“The staff are very helpful and the buffet is stellar! I can't recommend a better place to find local sourced items for your kitchen and home. You must try their organic goat and sheep's milk cheeses!”

“4/8/25 4:00pm Just about everytime I see the guy that was working the register today, he can put a smile on my face. Very polite and professional but also not scared to have a laugh and Never seen him on his phone and this station has Never given me any gas problems. Often when I pay cash I’ll have to go back in to remind them I paid. Anyway thank you all for being kind and professional it’s always appreciated”

“I've been going here for a few years, and haven't encountered any issues. Cashier's do their job well, and the isles are well stocked. The place is small but has a good selection, and the rewards program is handy. I've never had issues with the employees unlike some other reviews I've seen. Update: changed to 5 stars because I feel that the employees do their job very well and are always friendly and understanding, many convenient stores and gas stations can have rude employees but I always find that the employees here are efficient and understanding. A well stocked store with good employees is a 10/10 in my book. Overall - This is a great 7-11!”

“I was having ongoing problems with two other pharmacies and was getting very frustrated trying to get my prescriptions handled correctly. The pharmacy team at the Walgreens on West Main Street in St. Charles really went to bat for me and took the time to get everything straightened out. A special thank you to Alyssa, Cameron, and the entire staff. They were patient, professional, and genuinely cared about helping me. It made a stressful situation much easier, and I truly appreciate the way they stepped in and took care of things when I needed help the most. Sincerely, they are the best!!”
