“The filling area is small and tight, but Minnoco is the highest quality gas in Minnesota, and often the cheapest. I highly recommend the Minnoco rewards program. At the very minimum, you get $0.05 off/gallon, and a maximum of $0.60 off/gallon. Minnoco has E10 gas, E15, and E85, too.”
“I live in the neighborhood and my roommates and I pick up snacks here all the time. The staff is incredibly nice and it's always very clean. Love this place.”
“This CVS has the best staff of any drug store. They care about the people they serve, they work hard and provide excellent service. Thank you CVS for such a great store!”

“Speedway earns a solid four-star rating from me as a consistently dependable pit stop for fueling up and grabbing on-the-go essentials. Pulling into the station is usually a smooth experience with a clean, well-lit forecourt and pumps that operate quickly and efficiently. Stepping inside, the store is generally well-stocked with a great selection of drinks, snacks, and travel items to keep your day moving. The layout is easy to navigate, and the overall environment feels secure and tidy. Service is typically quick and polite, though lines can occasionally back up during peak morning or evening rush hours, which keeps it just shy of a five-star rating. Even with a brief wait now and then, it remains one of my preferred local stops because it is reliable, convenient, and always gets the job done without any hassle.”
“Speedway has always been my absolute go-to pit stop whenever I am out running errands and need a quick fuel-up or a fast-fix snack without any hassle. Whether I am pulling in to fill the tank or just running inside to grab a drink, the layout at these locations is always straightforward, well-lit, and remarkably easy to navigate. What makes this particular stop stand out for me is how efficient and friendly the experience consistently is. Even when things get busy during morning or evening commutes, the staff members are always quick on their feet, keeping the lines moving smoothly while maintaining a welcoming attitude. The stores are typically very clean, fully stocked with an impressive variety of fountain drinks, snacks, and everyday travel essentials, making it effortless to get what you need and get right back on your journey. It is those little conveniences—like easy pump access, clean surroundings, and dependable customer service—that turn a simple errand into a seamless experience. Whenever I need a reliable neighborhood station where I can pull in, refuel quickly, and trust that everything will be well-maintained, Speedway is always a top choice that never disappoints.”
“I also wanted to add that one of the managers (I honestly don't know what his name is but he is a very unique person so I feel my description will not mistake him for any other staff there) is another favorite person of mine that I see when I visit the pharmacy. He is easily over 6ft tall, currently has a purple fohawk, always wearing something colorful, and always has his nails did! No matter who he is talking to, no matter how old they are, what language they speak, he wishes EVERYONE to have a magical day. It just makes me smile. He is a hard worker and all around a fabulous person.”
“Tiny little convenience shop at this gas station. Has a lot of junk food and beverages, no frozen stuff (like ice cream). Clean. There's also an automated car wash. Close to the MSP Airport.”
“Nice location, drive thru, andthey have the essential pharmacy services including vaccinations. It's really nice that they have a pharmacy drive through and they are always very nice as well as quick and effective in all services. I go here all the time for pharmacy and frequency for additional random drug store shopping items, as they have a variety of items for sale like every CVS does. Easy parking.”
“I encourage shoppers of all ages to take Passport photos there or process other photos or products like Photo Books at this location! Richfield is a diverse suburban community so having Spanish speakers on staff is a valuable resource! English is also spoken there.”
