“I am giving 5 stars for a couple reasons. I frequent this location, as do many others. I believe a lot of the reason for the complaints recent years stems from several things that they may be unaware of but that I have observed over the years. Partly due to covid and all that brought to businesses and staff, partly due to the staff being overwhelmed and stressed because they didnt have the stock, food, tools, help and equipment to best serve customers, and partly due to the shortages this location felt especially hard and for some things still does. For awhile our store was out of so many things it was frustrating not only for customers but I know it was for staff. They burned out. Give them a break. I have never had a bad experience with staff there. The newer staff seems to be doing well and is friendly and helpful. Staff still there after all this time, they do their job well but you can still see the stress on their faces. Maybe give them a kudos or incentive. They have endured a lot and still stick with you and the store. That says a lot about them. Stock has been a little better more and more often. They are finding a balance again. It is an excellent store, a needed store for this community. I can understand some of the complaints, but as someone whom is there almost on a daily basis for the last 7 years, I see what happened and understand why service suffered for awhile. Please keep this store and keep it stocked. Having what everyone needs takes the stress off of staff and customers. Having everything working on a regular basis also helps everyone involved. My only complaint I am sure affects staff greatly too, the one register is always down or only accepting cash. The card reader is always broken. I know the new ones have had issues here and there even at other locations. But it causes back ups when the store is extra busy. The staff can help us better, cause less complaints and be more efficient for us if they are in working order. Maintenance wise this store needs some love. There is still some stock in the kitchen that needs to come back and be consistent too. But all in all this is one of the best stores and staff around. A side note...I understand the need for upgrades as time rolls on, but changing your logo (while I understand why you probably chose to do it) and all these store upgrades are not super. I prefer the old stores and logo much more. The logo was a recognized staple in our state and communities. It had character. I also wish you carried Regular Unleaded gas at all locations. Two in Ankeny I know for sure do not have it anymore. Thank you for always being a constant and in ways a comfort for people. I know you cannot please everyone. But some of us do understand having worked in customer service for decades. We get why there where shortages for awhile. We want the staff there to know they are appreciated.”

“One of my favorite places to buy my cigarettes. Friendly service, good deals on things, besides tobacco products (eggs, milk and bread are priced to beat out grocery store prices at times). A loyalty rewards program... Seriously, a top notch establishment.”

“My drives around the Des Moines area on this past Wed. took me to the Kwik Star located on State 415 on the west side of Polk City. All I ever expect out of convenience store is parking (check), cleanliness (check), and service (double check). I zipped in for my coffee, went to the counter and was greeted by a young man who asked how my day was going - putting some sincerity to the tone of his voice. This was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend this Kwik Star.Here's a pick of me enjoying my fine brewed Karuba (love it) coffee with a great song for the road.)”

“I am writing about the Asian store opposite or next to hyvee here. They have a good amount of basics rice noodles, rice, indian lentils, mochi, rice paper, meat, sauce, veggies, fish cakes, nori sheets. The place is run by a Korean. The store smells of paint or varnish because there’s painting going on and renovation taking place. Shop keepers seem friendly. It’s growing and they stock up new things every so often with Asian kitchen items such as portable stove, ladles, teapots.”

“Imagine walking into a gas station and you're looking for some food. The words "gas station food does not sound super appealing, UNTIL, you see a gourmet sandwich. You become a little suspicious until look around and see even more amazing food. Of course it has your typical gas station staples, but there's more of a variety of high quality products! Attached is an amazing coffee shop called Burgies! This is definitely a place to stop when getting gas in Ames!”

“Casey's at 36th and Irvinedale Dr. is pretty much our go to convenience store. On this occasion, we ordered a medium Taco Pizza online, and were told it would be done in 20 min. (note... On busy weekends during FB season, we've waited 45 min, so plan accordingly.) I got there a few minutes early and the lady said my pizza would be out of the oven in a cpl minutes. While I was waiting, I took note of the coffee station, as I often stop at this very same place for morning coffee. The place was SPOTLESS as usual (pics). Now for the pizza. We're usually deep dish pizza people, but for Taco Pizza, Casey's nails it with a thinner doughy crust. We love it. Hope too that management reads this and takes note that a customer appreciated the cleanliness of the store!”

“Everyone is always so kind and trying their best! I went in tonight and was shocked at how rude some customers were because they had to wait. Clearly they were busy and clearly they were working hard, show people some respect and be kind! 10/10 customer service”

“Super convenient location at the intersection of 18th and Ankeny boulevard. The store and grounds are well kept and the staff is friendly! They do have a few RedBox's out front which is super convenient. This is one of the few stations that offers E85 fuel which is nice if your vehicle uses the Flex Fuel! Prices are competitive with other area gas stations.”
