“Amazing sweet rolls and bakery goods! Plus they have a world famous truck-stop styled family restraunt with great food and friendly staff, a gas station, and very unique but awesome atmosphere! It's a place that offers an enjoyable and memorable experience that is second to none! It's iconic on its own and other than the casino, it's probly in my opinion the greatest thing Hinckley MN has to offer!”

“New store is so much more clean and organized than the old one. I stopped using the old one due to how gross it felt inside. They have so many more pumps now, and diesel fuel at all of them. Only 4 stars because of the pothole outside of the parking lot. Otherwise, such an upgrade!”

“After a flat tire on I35 southbound at the end of the July 4th week I drove into this station. Dave was working there. He examined our tire, as he dealt with other customers, to see if it could be repaired, explained that it had been shredded on the inside because of the high speed puncture, checked the spare bicycle tire pressure I had put on out on the highway and told us our flat tire was a special order tire and we should drive back carefully to Minneapolis and get it replaced there. He didn't have a match for our tire. I offered him some money, which he turned down. He said he was just doing his job. Kudos to BP and Dave. I will stop there the next time I am on my way south or north through the Hinckley area. I really appreciated the welcome, the immediate efforts to determine how serious our flat was and then the advice Dave gave me.”

A phone call to the store confirmed that a kind soul had come upon the phone and turned it in to staff! Our biggest, warmest thank you to all who helped us!! We will pay it forward!”
