“This is by far my favorite convenience store to go to. It's close to home. They have everything and anything anyone could possibly need. From an awesome food menu, tobacco products, gasoline, pretty much any kind of sports drink or energy drink or sodas, milk, canned food, and snacks. They also have a cozy little place to dine in and eat at that is in a smoke-free environment. And if you prefer to smoke while you eat, they also have a little room with dining in tables and some arcade games, and you can smoke in that room. And the people that work there are very helpful and polite. They also have the option to call in your food orders, and you can pick it up instead of dining in. They have an extremely large selection of different snacks such as candy, chips, jerkey, nuts, snack cakes, nab crackers, ice cream cooler, they have a fountain drink machine, a cappuccino and coffee machine. I've never had a bad experience at this store, and I literally go there every single day. It's definitely my go-to place for all my family needs. The owner of the store has done amazing things ? not just with the transformation of the store since they've bought it but with the community as well. They couldn't have shown up at a better time. Amazing people. And I love how they kept the original name of the store too because ever since I was a child, that place has been called parlees. ?????????? I recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!!”
