“I had a great experience at Am/Pm! I met Cam, who is the brother of the owner, and he was super nice and helpful. I had an issue with a vape pen I purchased. It was the wrong size and when I explained and showed him the problem, he immediately understood and let me exchange it for the correct one. Really appreciated the great customer service!”
“Great customer service! I'd had a long day and stopped in to wash my car and get gas. I was having some trouble with the vacuum, so I went inside, and Kikka from the store helped me a lot and turned my whole day around. She was kind, helpful, and went out of her way to make things easy. In the few minutes I was there, she had most of the customers laughing. She deserves a raise! Thank you, Kikka, for making my day.”
“Probably the friendliest staff in West Lafayette. The store is always clean and well stocked. Their location is perfect for nearby neighbors, commuters on the edge of town, or anyone looking for a refreshing drink.”
“Good gas station with lots of soda options on campus. The only gas station that is on Purdue's campus, and they don't price gouge for gas prices. No hot food options.”
“Grew up with this store (back in the old spot). While thier cloths have gotten more expensive than they used to be the quality has improved. I was out of state for almost 15 years and have missed my daily Den Pop, bit know that I am back right back to the daily Den Pop. Can not wait for the christmas sweaters to come out.”
“This place is great! The 2 people that work here are so very kind! The young lady that works during the day will always put a smile on anyone face! Great great people here!!”
“EXCELLENT PHARMACY MANAGER!!! We were in town for our son at college who needed a prescription quickly. The dr. originally sent it to the Purdue Pharmacy but it was closed on Saturday when we got there. We asked the doctor to change it to Walgreens. The pharmacy manager took the time to not only fill the prescription quickly, but also called Purdue Pharmacy the following Monday to have them reverse the transaction so he could put it through to our insurance. He then refunded me the difference of what I paid, versus what I owed after the insurance paid. VERY VERY GOOD customer service!! I was very impressed! He was also very pleasant! Couldn't have asked for better service!”
“Great nice store in a campus. I came to visit my son in his University and late night i been this store.Good Products,Good price, Good Service specially from the Staff,She is very Helpful. I think this very convenient store in the campus area. Highly Recommended?”
“Bathrooms are always very clean. Friendly staff One negative - coffee is expensive and half the time not made. Go across street to speedway for coffee”
“I have used passport photo service here today, and Jerome was really really helpful!! Went to CVS first but the photo there was not great and it even didn’t fit the right size. Jerome helped us to get it right, he was really nice!”
“this speedway is very clean and has a nice range of products! the staff are nice especially one staff member who works nights!! they are great keep up the good work :)”
“The one and only gas station near the Purdue University. They have the best rewards program with speedway cards. I love them for their prepared food which is like a 24x 7 food option”
“Excellent Stop for Coffee and Service – 5 Stars As an Uber driver, I visit a variety of convenience stores for a quick coffee between rides—and Village Pantry in West Lafayette has quickly become one of my favorites. The store stands out for its cleanliness, which is noticeably better than many other locations I’ve visited. The customer service here is top-notch. Sam, in particular, provided outstanding service. Though our interaction was brief, She was friendly and personable, making my quick stop feel genuinely welcoming. The quality of the black coffee was excellent—and at under $2, it’s an unbeatable value. For a clean, affordable, and pleasant coffee stop with great customer service, this Village Pantry location deserves a solid five stars.”
“Fairly good store for using dining dollars. It has various items to purchase but can sometimes be out of stock or have messy stocking. Otherwise its a convenient store for on campus. Also, the manager is super nice and friendly when I go.”

“I went here to get a vaccine and the pharmacist, Zander, was very kind and helpful. I scheduled an appointment but for some reason it didn't go through (I received an email later saying there was an unexpected issue, leading it to be cancelled), but Zander decided to take me in anyways and was very polite and caring throughout the process.”
“I saw this friendly folk walking through a valley towards this circle k and I started larping about the nearby khaby lame mechanism repair, if you do not larp, you will DIE”
“Good selection of typical beverages and brands. The usual station with decent prices but Meijer has tightened the higher savings it used to offer compared to others. M-Perks is awkward to use and never feels it is worth the hassle. Meijer needs to get back to the better prices it used to offer on gas and ensure its rewards program is worth the time.”
“The ladies that work at this CVS store deserve a lot of credit. I witnessed a younger gentlemen fumble and stumble over his words, as he backhandingly "complimented" the two older female workers. While I felt embarrassed for him, you could tell they too were embarrassed, as he continued to figuratively stick his foot in his mouth. Breaking the vibe as I walk up with my items, I said "Good Evening young ladies" and it brought a sense of humor and ease to their tension. I couldn't imagine having to deal with that on a daily basis but they handled it with class and dignity.”
“Not sure why a number of negative reviews - would conclude it’s a very small percentage of total customer engagements. I’ve patronized this CVS (both for general items and pharmacy) probably 30-40 times and had nothing but great experiences. The staff, including the Manager, has always been friendly, helpful and efficient. The Pharmacy - seemingly very well-staffed - has been communicative, friendly and efficient, as well. If our family doctor places a prescription (across the street, essentially, at Franciscan) and we head directly to CVS, our order is often ready - if not, we typically wait 10-15 minutes. I’d classify that as a pretty solid logistical process. I have a 90-day recurring (refill) medicine - CVS sends me a text when it’s ready. Drive over, pick it up, pay, done. Best medicine refill process I’ve experienced. Compared to the major chain drug store across the street, this CVS is vastly superior.”
“Very happy with my recent visit to my local CVS. Due to an allergy attack, I had questions for the pharmacist. He was really helpful. Not only did he make recommendations, he took me to show me what I needed. I particularly appreciated this as my eyes were burning and itchy. This type of customer service is greatly appreciated.”
