Van Meter's Gas & Grocery is a charming country-style store that has been family-owned and operated for generations. The 83-year-old owner, Mrs. Hazel, has been running the store for 69 years, carrying on the legacy passed down from her parents. Despite her advanced age, she works tirelessly, keeping the store open for 12 hours a day, Monday through Friday, and around 10am to 4pm on weekends. Customers praise the store's friendly service, competitive gas prices, and convenient selection of groceries, beer, cigarettes, and lottery tickets. While the store may occasionally close for Mrs. Hazel to run errands or restock, reviewers understand the challenges of operating a small business at her age.

The lady that works here is super nice, it's totally worth stopping by. They have bathrooms. There are not a lot of options around here, it doesn't appear for gas and some small groceries. If we come by here again we won't hesitate to stop here.
