Gas Stations in Eldridge, IA

“After a great breakfast at Tasty Cafe across the street, I really needed a further beverage before returning home to Bettendorf. I saw the Big 10 Mart on the way in to Tasty Cafe, so I opted to stop here on the way out of town. I'd visited the other Big 10 Mart on the way in to Eldridge, but this one was right there (not sure why there are two Big 10 Marts right close to each other on Le Claire Road, but whatever...).As with the other Big 10 Mart in town, this one is also very reminiscent of the others across the Quad Cities area. There's shelves of snacks, automotive supplies, personal hygiene products, and even a table of Easter candy at the front of the store. Along one wall of the store there are several coolers of beverages. There's a table with hot food options as well as coffee. Even this store has a few displays of beanie babies available (really hope these don't become a thing again...).The floor of this Big 10 Mart is a simple grey six inch square ceramic tile. The walls are colored in the same green, yellow, and beige as most of the other Big 10 Marts. Strangely enough, this location does not have a drop ceiling in the overhead. Instead, the ceiling is solid, with florescent fixtures in lines running across and HVAC vents along the top portions of the walls around the periphery. First time I've seen this particular setup in any store. I'm not including it here to be critical in any way, it's just an interesting and somewhat unique feature to this specific location.I selected my Gatorade Zero and a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup egg and proceeded to the front of the store to purchase. The attendant was a nice guy and after rejecting an invitation to join whatever rewards program Big 10 Mart was offering, I paid for my drink and snack and left within about a minute.I'd come back here again if I returned to Eldridge for some reason in the future. The store is clean, has the snacks and beverages I like, and the guy at the counter was nice. Thanks, Big 10 Mart!”

“I recently stopped nearby this bp gas station at the Big 10 Mart to procure a beverage and a snack while driving through Eldridge. I didn't actually purchase any gas, but I did observe the pumps and how people were faring with them.There are six total pumps available at this bp, all of which have plenty of space for approach and departure from either Le Claire Road or the side street to the west. During my time in the Big 10 Mart, nobody appeared to be having difficulty with the pumps, as several individuals came and left without coming into the store to pay, ask questions, or otherwise complain.Upon closer inspection of the pumps, however, this location appears to have the same minor issue other gas stations attached to Big 10 Marts appear to have, that being slightly older pay stations at the pumps themselves. The screens are primarily where this is visible, as the two I saw up close are starting to show dead pixels. This doesn't appear to be affecting their overall functionality, though.If I needed to stop for gas in Eldridge in the future, I'd be okay with getting it at this bp. The Big 10 Mart has the snacks I like and the pumps are clean and functional. Thanks, bp!”

“Casey's in Parkview must have gotten some New Help in their kitchen.I wanted a Taco Pizza and didn't want to drive to Eldridge. (Haven't had one in ParkView in Over a Year. )I ordered a Large 1/2 Taco,1/2 Supreme. (I did tell them to push it back in the oven to cook it a little longer)cause in the past it has always been doughy in the middle and never a good pizza. Well Tonight it was perfect. Thank You! Job Well Done!!!”

“Walked in and the Asst Manager at the register said “welcome to Casey’s and hope your having a great day”. I guess in this new normal I have lowered out expectations but Kudos to the Casey’s staff for convincing me I was wrong.”
