“Used to stop here all the time to top off our coolers before heading back out on the boat. Service was always cheerful, no matter the time of day or level of business. For a small gas station, they keep a good selection of merchandise at fair prices. This location was also recently renovated and is clean and well maintained. Fuel prices here are right on point with others in the area most of the time.”

“One of the newer, more spacious Casey’s locations with plenty of parking lot space which helps when you’re towing a boat. Typically stop in here for morning coffee or afternoon snacks while on the go working and it gets the job done. Employees are not generally friendly, talkative, or helpful in my experience however, so as long as you’re the type to get in and out this convenience store will do the trick!”

“The owner has decades of experience dealing with Yamaha motors. He will diagnose a problem with your boat and fix it with a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.”

“This place is so much more than just a gas company! Lorne, Briana and their team have created a wonderful, welcoming gathering place. It feels great to support such a community focused local business. You should do it too! And get an ice cream cone from the self-service soft-serve machine. Nothing better!”

“Not a bad little gas station and convenience store. The size is really its only drawback - sometimes the lot and pumps can get congested as well as the inside of the store. Although smaller, the beer cooler is always well stocked and provides plenty of options. The girls that work here are pleasant and welcoming and for the most part are able to get you in and out quickly.”

“When this location was Kum & Go, like many, I avoided it in recent years due to encounters with rude employees, and a constant need for a thorough cleaning. However, when it changed to Mega Saver I decided to see if anything had changed. The morning staff (manager?) is always friendly, store is clean, and gas prices can’t be beat! Now I stop on my way to work almost daily.”

“I was very impressed with the cleanliness & organization. A lot of Casey's I've been to are dirty & in disarray. I appreciate the effort this one goes to for customer service.”
