Convenience Stores near Le Sueur, MN

“This is an older gas station a little off the beaten path. It only had one bathroom, and was a smaller store too. There were no hot food items other than microwave options. They had a roller grill, but it wasn't in operation. It was clean though and the attendant was very nice and friendly. Nice place to stop.”

“Such a cute little off the highway town. The drive from 169 was lovely. This gas station has a newly update bathroom, very clean and nice. The store is 1/2 gas station and 1/2 small grocery store. The have your standard packaged foods and then they had fresh bakery items individually packed as well. Nice place, we will make it a point to drive the few miles to stop again.”

“These days, "cheap gas" is an oxymoron. But at least in parts of the Midwest, ethanol blends reduce the pain a little bit, to the point that premium unleaded is cheaper than regular. And when my Dad owned an operated a gas station in Iowa (Brink Oil Company - Estherville Iowa) growing up, 35 cents a gallon (or gas war pricing at 19 cents) was a clear memory. Question: Why is gasoline still priced with 9/10 of a cent added on? I share my Dad's love of driving and tend to fill up at the last minute. My friend Bob Merrill reminds me of the time that we ran out just a few miles short of Fairmont MN, but my favorite memory was gliding in an Omaha-area gas station just as the fuel-staved engine cut out. Gayle won't put up with that nonsense, so I'm usually looking to fill up when the needle drifts a little below half. On our recent trip back to the Twin Cities (from Spirit Lake), I chose this Speedway because it was time, and my current bias is that larger independent chains (like Speedway, Maverick, or Kwik Star) might be cheaper or at least have clean restrooms and nice selections at their Mini-Mart. And this Speedway delivered on all cylinders. In this case, it also turned out that the next gas station down the road (or at least visible from the highway) was at least a few miles away. Maybe something cheaper would have come up, but in the end, a gas station is basically a gas station, especially when they're open when you need them. I may be charging up my next car (here or elsewhere), but for legacy reasons alone, these places will be around a good deal longer.”
