“Love this dollar store. Has so many nicer quality and just more varitety of party favors, goodie bag items, decor, food, etc. Just really sad the prices went up. Doesn't feel like a dollar store anymore when you need 10-20 items+.”

“I love this Speedway. The lady who runs this store works tirelessly to provide good service, and I've told her so. There are always many different kind of food items available, a nicely stocked roller grill, entirely decent pizza, chicken wings, breakfast sandwiches, and they pay attention to consumer need. I walk away with a meal for usually $7. Note: I'm a coffee drinker, and I stop elsewhere for coffee, because the coffee machine pours the espresso blend too fast, leaving the espresso watery and flat instead of rich and frothy. It has always been this way. It would make me very happy if your coffee machine poured slower. Maybe someday?”

“The slushies and fountain drinks are so cheap. The rest of the stuff is kind of badly priced though. The cashier lady was really nice and was laughing a lot and chatting with my family. Honeslty with I could do 4.5 all for how expensive some of the stuff is.”
