“This is my favorite gas station of all time. They have the best pizza, serve wicked Joe coffee and have the friendliest staff. You will never see another place that cares about your individual liberties and fights for you to keep those rights when the government over reaches itself to limit you.”

“I was a bit reluctant to try Charleen's in Richmond due to the fact that you have to go into the store to pay for gas. I'll be honest, I like to go to self-serve, pay at the pump and get out. Here you do need to go into the store but they make it as efficient as possible. They are so busy that they have you pump your gas then move your car ahead before going into the store to pay. They ask that you let them know how much you owe them when you get into the store. This allows others to pump their gas. It is a Fabian gas station. During the increase in gas prices recently, Charleen's prices were ALWAYS lower than anywhere around. The prices were not just a little but a lot (30-50 cents a gallon) lower. They want to give the savings back to the community. There were times when the gas was $4.50 gallon at other stations and I don't think it ever went over $3.90 here. Let me tell you, the owners are awesome. They are friendly and inviting. They love dogs and are fine if you want to bring them into the store. They offer a variety of sundry items, beer, milk and even local baked goods.It is hard to rave about a gas station but if I am going to, it is absolutely going to be about Charleen's. This store/gas station and the people who own it are the best!”

1273 High St, West Gardiner ME 04345
“I have had issues a few times in the past with employees not being honest... I am partial to how the store was when Jim and Vicki owned it. However we ordered food here last night as I was sick and could barley move to make my family dinner, the food in the past has not been stellar and we avoid it normally. The food last night was surprisingly really good. My Ham Italian was really good, in the past they have had one piece of ham and it was never enough. The pizza was good also. Usually the pizza is too undercooked for me, however it was cooked well this time. My boyfriend also said his sandwich was really good as well.”
115 Main St, Richmond ME 04357
“Would give 10/5 stars if I could! My car broke down here and I couldn't have landed at a better place. The people are so nice the food is excellent quality! I can't thank them enough for how friendly they were to us. I will definitely go back here on my travels and gas up and grab food.”

48 Main St, Winthrop ME 04364
“Funny, friendly staff & good prices, food can be limited at times due to staffing but most of the time they're stocked up & churning business. Bathrooms always clean. Tobacco policies are a bit stricter than needed ex. carding all including grandparents, no returns upon leaving the store”
16 Peck Farm Rd, Winthrop ME 04364
“Everywhere is clean, including the bathrooms and the products are at decent prices. I haven’t had a bad experience with associates. Just the customers.”
