“Awesome old-school gas station! The owners are preserving the place as it stands. The guy who helped me has been there since 1973. Cash only is the problem, though. They need to update that if they want to compete with the new Sheetz station down the road. If they don't care about that, that's ok too. This place is retro cool.”

“Plenty of ice cream here! They had scooped ice cream cones, and in the back they had pints and bigger containers. We got a pack of candy fake cigarettes for the 18-year-old. Haha”

“Often the least expensive 93 octane gas available in Frederick county. Lower price for cash than credit/debit, but pay-at-the-pump makes it a quick as experience. There is a good selection of beer and other alcoholic beverages available inside the attached convenience store.”

“I stopped by the store today for a quick fill-up and a pepsi. Great place. No frill, old style store. Talked to the attendant, very nice, and answered my basic questions. Next time, I will try one of their sandwiches. Off the beaten track but worth the quick detour off US 15.”

“Nice little truck stop. Got here around 5pm on a Thursday and found parking. $15 showers, but you got to keep your towel (it's a big towel too). 2-ply toilet paper is a plus. Lucked out on having a quiet night with no trucks next to me running. Maybe it's because the night was cool and in it's 50's. Only negative was the music choice. I guess the employees get to pick the music because the music playing had the n-word and other choice language in the lyrics.”

“I go to the Sheetz in Thurmont, MD frequently. Obviously for gas, but also the food. No matter what I order the amount of food is very generous, everything is fresh and well presented. The staff gets my order to me in a timely manner. I appreciate them, and highly recommend the food.”
