“Have no clue where all the negative reviews are coming from, I stopped there every morning to grab stuff I need before work. They have a wide selection of product and if they don't they are more than happy to try to get it in for you. Every time I've gone there I feel welcomed like one of the family. And honestly it's the only gas station I'll go to in town. The owners a great guy, and the guys working there are super friendly”

“I've been a customer here for many years. The employees are very friendly, they have a great selection of items for a small store, and their prices are very reasonable for snacks/beverages, tobacco products & gasoline. They are also open from early in the morning, til later in the evening, so their hours are convenient. You can also get Air here, they have a coin operated machine on the side of the building & an ATM inside the store too. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a convenience store with a variety of items, fair pricing & kind employees.”

“The lady at the counter is incredibly rude on the phone and has a really nasty attitude.Edit: 9/3/22: I stopped here for a drink yesterday and the young man behind the counter was incredibly nice and extremely customer service oriented. I have bumped my review up to 4 stars as I actually did have a good customer service interaction. They are not a bad store overall, it just depends who's working.”

“Employees are USUALLY nice and helpful. Pretty clean. Cappuccino machine actually being full is a 50/50 chance but good selection of items and many deals if you're paying attention”
