Convenience Stores in Alden, MN

“On 3/10/23 my husband and I stopped here to refuel and walk the dog. As I sat in the truck, I heard a horrible sound as my husband slipped and fell on the ice. He was flat on his back after hitting his head on the ground. I checked on him and he was not conscious and was making gurgling sounds. I raced into the store asked someone to call 911 for me (quicker than getting to my for my phone). Ashley was the one who called and stayed on the line with them. Steve, my husband, had gotten to his knees. He refused to stay put as I told him to not to move (he is on blood thinners) but he was confused and continued to move. Bystanders came to help but kept trying to get him up off the cold ground as I was telling him to stay. Ashley relayed everything the dispatcher was telling her what to do but frustrated her because the people trying to help were not listening to her when she told them not to move him. Paramedics arrived and the the ambulance soon after. He was taken to a nearby hospital and after tests needed to go to Mayo Clinic in Rochester ASAP. Helicopter was not possible due to weather so he went by ambulance in a snowstorm.Steve suffered two brain bleeds (he is on blood thinners) and we were told he would need brain surgery. Fortunately, the bleeding stabilized and he avoided surgery.Ashley was a godsend. She quickly got Steve the help he desperately needed. She brought him gloves and a hat as we didn’t pack them.Ashley told me to keep her updated which I did just this morning. She said she was worried all night and was relieved to hear the news. I will forever be grateful to Ashley and won’t forget all she did for 2 old fogies in their time of need.Thank you Ashley ❤️”

“Very clean place. Bathrooms are well kept up. Shelves are stocked. Staff is professional, and knowledgeable.However the the only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 star is the prices, they are a bit high....”
