Gas Stations in Pinckney, MI

“Very, very decent coffee plus if there's a blueberry donut there I'll buy it whether I want to or not. I'll usually stop by the station if I need to when there's enough room to park. I admit that I will park by the pumps when not getting gas if it's not busy.2021-No car to park by the pumps anymore thanks to pvpolice/Pardiac.”

“I don’t usually leave gas station reviews, but the Marathon in Pinckney, MI absolutely demands praise.

I pulled in to fill up my battle-worn, slightly rattling 2008 VW Golf (half rust, half personality), and what I thought would be a quick fuel stop turned into something more… spiritual.

First off, the liquor selection is absurdly good. Like, suspiciously good. I’ve seen actual liquor stores with less range. Whiskey, vodka, tequila, the weird flavored stuff your cousin drinks—it’s all here. And don’t even get me started on the walk-in beer cooler. It’s basically a polar expedition meets adult beverage wonderland. I walked in for a six-pack and came out seriously rethinking my weekend plans (and maybe my life choices).

Also, I might be spending too much time in that cooler. My therapist says we’ll circle back to that.

But here’s the kicker—the groceries. This isn’t your typical sad gas station snack wall. We’re talking full-on grocery inventory. Produce. Pantry staples. Dairy that doesn’t expire tomorrow. I saw a bag of frozen shrimp that looked shockingly legitimate. Honestly, if you’re still doing your shopping at a “normal” grocery store, you might be doing it wrong. Marathon has the vibe of a place that understands your needs, especially when those needs are snacks, booze, and maybe a frozen pizza or two.

TLDR: Come for the gas, stay for the groceries, the beer cave, and a deeply personal reckoning about how often you’re at a gas station.

Oh, and get the twist cone at Cap’n Frosty across the road. Your Golf would want that for you.

HIGHLY recommend. ?”

“Stop in for a great burger or some lottery, and perhaps you might be the next lucky customer to purchase a winning Club Keno ticket worth $6,000 like some unknown customer did on December 20, 2019.”

“The negative reviews are ridiculous. The people who work there are nice and doing the best they can in the circumstances we are all facing. Their prices are great, they frequently have amazing sales.”

“Staff is friendly, store is clean, they have a great variety of things they sell. I like the new recreational smoking section, no need to drive to a smoke shop with the selection there. Tubbys is located inside making a one stop shop at lunch time. Steak and cheese sub my favorite.”
