“Nice people! Have a big variety in the convenience dept. Other than being on the corner by the light I would say it's one of the better stores this type around!”

“Best gas station in Washington, Iowa by far. Located right next to their Hy-Vee store. This place has great prices. For example, you can get any size of fountain pop for only $0.99 excluding taxes. And if you go shopping at Hy-Vee (also the cheapest store in town) enough and have a Fuel Saver Card, you can get gas for well under $1 a gallon. I'll go there for lunch sometimes and get 3 slices of meatlovers pizza and a 32oz fountain pop for only $5.49 with taxes included. Under $6 for a filling lunch of pizza with big pop isn't such a bad deal, is it? Highly recommended.”

“The lady working the counter was very efficient. Working 2 registers at the same time. I didn’t get her name but she served me at 11:48 am on March 6th The pizza is subpar as always and too expensive. Nearly $4 for one slice”

“Overall, it is a great place. It's a little dirty on the inside but overall it functions fine. The ice cream they serve during the summer is delicious and the staff are amazing. The parking lot is confusing, and there is a limited amount of gas pumps, but it almost always has cheaper prices and I've never ran across any issues before.”
