“The staff at Marathon (Randy, Bonnie, and the rest of the crew), are some of the most friendly, helpful, and amazing people I've ever encountered. Gas prices at times are a tad higher than the surrounding area, but that's what happens in smaller towns. Still wouldn't shop anywhere else in town.. and it's the only place in town to get 93 octane.”

“We stopped here during a couple hundred mile harley ride just to get off the farm for a few. Just stopped for a cold pop and a place to sit and cool off. The gentleman working there was courteous and funny, sat and talked with him for a few minutes. And the towns folk were also welcoming and talkative for a couple outta towner who were on motorcycles. We are country folks ourselves that farm and it was refreshing to have folks still greet you with a smile and strike up conversation. Rare thing in a lot of places these days. Would like to stop back when the kitchens open and try out their pork tenderloin. Will definitely stop back in when passing thru.”
