“This location is clean and reflects the standard Thornton’s experience, but I do have a few critiques. While I understand the economics behind product selection, I do wish this store offered a wider variety of taquito and/or Tornado flavors, as the current options feel limited compared to other locations. Additionally, the presence of video gambling machines isn’t my personal preference, though I recognize this may appeal to some customers. On the positive side, the employees here are consistently friendly and helpful, and the store overall is well‑maintained. Despite the limited food variety, this remains a solid Thornton’s location, and I would return again.”
