“What a great small town gas station!! They went out of their way to help me out. I was heading from Brainerd towards Fort Ripley on 371 back to the cities hauling a car on a trailer and ran out of gas a few miles shy of Fort Ripley. I called up to the Fort Ripley Store not being from the area and asked if they could help a guy out. The owner of the store sent a friend of his my way with a full gas can to get me back on my way! I stopped at the station and filled up and gave my thanks to Rami and Donny for helping a stranger out! Thank you, thank you, thank you ??????”

“We had inadvertently locked our key fob in our vehicle and the people working there were so kind and helpful! The young lady behind the counter gave my little guy some hot chocolate and then made some calls helping us get someone out there much sooner than our tow truck that was designated by our insurance. This staff did many kind things as we waited - Super thoughtful people!”
