The coolers are always stocked very well. I don't drink but they also sell alcohol and with what seems to be a good selection. There are 12 different gas pumps with a few with diesel available also. It's easy to enter and exit the highway which makes it easy for a quick stop.”

“While traveling to West Virginia back in June 2020, I stopped in here for gas, snack, and restroom break. The store only allows 1 person from the party to enter at a time due to the pandemic restrictions. The restroom was a single use. It was fairly clean, could use a make-over though. The cashier was friendly to me as I purchased a bottle of water after visiting Subway next to the counter. I used the gas pump with my card and I had no issues. No one hacked my account or anything. Gas was under $2 a gallon. The location was very convenient right off the Interstate with no other traffic except another car. It was a peaceful stop for the quick needs before hitting the road again. I would suggest stopping here for gas, restroom, snacks, and rest.”
