“Well obviously I can't know everything at one time, but this is got to be one of the last true full service stations left in the US? Anyway it was a delightful stop as I headed north through the shity weather off of the highway to run into an actual place were people service you and are attentive to you and make sure everything is correct and proper. It's not about them, it's about you, the way it's supposed to be in America when you're spending your money.”

“It's hard to find gas stations open in the UP and area, this one is open 24hrs. The restrooms were find, cashier and service were fine. We bought snacks and got back on the road. The drink station was not working but gas was the most important- buy a bottled drink.”

“First off this is an easy off easy on right off the highway. The minute you get off the highway heading North you can see the station. The front side has lots of pumps for gasers and around the back is a full service stop for 18 wheelers. Inside the store we were greeted by very pleasant staff. The store is well stocked with a large variety of drinks, fast food, a huge refrigeratorated section, chips, candy, nuts etc. I liked the coffee machine that grinds the beans and brews a fresh cup on the spot! The restrooms were neat and clean. Weather you are driving a car, truck, pulling a camper or driving an eighteen wheeler there is plenty of room for a quick stop or pull over to the side for a little rest! We will definitely stop here again. Try it and let me know what you think and have a great trip!”
