“Phew!! Thank you, Summit Shell station! I had to drive from the South Loop out to the western suburbs, and as soon as I got on 55 in the city, I realized I was on 'empty'. I thought, perhaps, I'd make it, but by the Summit exit I was pretty sure I was coasting on fumes. I was so relieved to spy the big Shell tower advert from the highway, and quickly exited! The gas station is only 3-4 blocks from 55. Price was perfectly fine considering their prime location. Attendant was really friendly. A fine experience and boy was I grateful! I literally had a quarter of a gallon in my task! Phew!”

“Went to this gas station during a very bad time. Everything was going wrong that week. I was very emotional and was having an extremely bad day. Went in and the cashier was a very compassionate and understanding guy. Carlos was his name. I’ll never forget this day, that cashier or the overall great experience. The customer service I received was awesome and the encouragement and positivity I received from the cashier really helped me and uplifted me. Thank you Carlos!”
