“Been going to this place for years now. Since it was called Gas Stop in fact. Nice people had a few cover my change on snacks and one of the workers flat out paid for my snacks one Christmas year. Good prices on some of the niche items which I am grateful for as I am a low budget snack spender.”
“Always a great experience at this Marathon! The staff is friendly, the store is clean, and the pumps are fast and easy to use. Prices are fair, and they always seem to have what I need—whether it’s a quick snack, fresh coffee, or a fill-up on the go. Definitely my go-to gas station every time”

“Family Express is, first and foremost, an express of the family variety. What this means exactly is something you begin to sense the moment you arrive, which is to say, when you are there and not somewhere else. The building is present in a structural sense, and it faces the direction it faces with a quiet confidence that only a building in its position could possess.
The gas, which is outside, is available to those who seek it. Pumps facilitate this in the way that pumps have always facilitated things, through a series of events that begin with pulling up and end with driving away. In between, something happens that is energy-related, and your vehicle participates willingly. Numbers are involved. They resolve. You feel neither worse nor better than you did, but you are, objectively, more fueled.
Inside Family Express, the interior continues. Shelves hold objects at shelf-level, which is where objects on shelves tend to be. Some of these objects are foods, and others are items, and a few occupy a philosophical middle ground that only a gas station convenience store can conjure. The coffee area implies coffee. The hot food section radiates warmth in a way that is both literal and, some might argue, metaphorical.
Employees were observed. They operated within the expected parameters of employee behavior and the visit proceeded in a manner indistinguishable from a visit proceeding.
The cleanliness of the restroom is information I am choosing not to withhold, but also not to provide.
Family Express is a stop. It is your stop if you stop there. Many have. Many will. The road continues on both sides.
Five stars. The express was, in fact, expressed.”

“Kim knows how to show top-notch customer service! I once lost my bug deflector through the car wash and she was kind enough to retrieve it and hold it for me until I could come get it. Every time I’m in the store, she’s upbeat and friendly. Great customer interactions and goes above and beyond, making this a great stop! Plus, I prefer their car wash to others in town.”

“Stopped for gas, it was $4.64....I admit, on the other side of the road about 5ish miles back we had passed where it was $3.99...ugh. Oh well...filled up, utilized their clean washroom which we greatly appreciated!! Grabbed something to drink & was back on I-65 again headed home!! Thank you Marathon for helping all of us road weary travelers!!!”
“Local small gas and convenience store. Always clean. Has a variety of things including a small restaurant. Pumps work even when the store is closed which is nice. People are usually friendly.”
