“Stopped on our way through, my son ran in to grab headphones. He came back to the car and said “the lady in there was so nice”. He didn’t get her name but I could see she was older. So many people barely look at you behind the counters of gas stations… I thought this is worth mentioning.”

“Very nice workers. Store is always clean and their butcher is great, great place for meats at very reasonable prices. The fried shrimp on Fridays are awesome and so worth trying. Do miss their stuffed mushrooms. Definitely a good deli to grab a hot lunch or dinner and cheaper than fast food.”

“Really convenient grocery store, especially for something attached to a gas station. Surprisingly well stocked. They have a fresh produce section — vegetables and fruits looked fresh and nicely arranged. We were able to buy everything we needed for a last-minute BBQ outing. Super helpful when you don’t have time to go to a big supermarket. Wide array of beverages too — sodas, juices, beers, wines. Also lots of grab-and-go options like pizza, sandwiches, and snacks. Clean place, easy stop, and very practical when you need things quickly. Would definitely come back.”

“They put in a new touchless car washing machine? It no longer breaks down. What used to be a car wash I’d avoid is now one of my go to places. Gas up, say yes to car wash today and get your secret code for entry!”

“Absolutely will be back!! Showed up unknowingly with only 5 minutes before close and the way I was treated!! They literally were extremely nice while I was standing at the register! Guy before me was treated very kindly and it was heartwarming to see. The guy behind the counter was right in the questions he was asked about the store and it was nice to see they have qualified workers here. Will be back for sure!”

“The servers at this pharmacy are absolutely the best. The only problem is when they have run out of adderall (underrepresented by manufacturers); so we pray each month about that. Three of the pharmacy folks asked me what we needed and hastened it as best they could, literally through the door in big boxes on a cart. They are kind to each including personal tips for expediency. Thank you .”

“Nice little convenience store/Gas station, always have kind of warm food to go lunch or in late night bite to eat. Open 24 Hours which is big plus because there are not many places that do the 24 hrs in the area.”
