“Really clean and has a huge variety of items. All the staff I've have been super nice and friendly. Gas prices are competitive. Pumps are always clean and rarely ever out of order. Highly recommend the soups. Sounds weird, but their soups are really good. Chicken wild rice and the broccoli cheese are my favorites.”

“This was my favorite gas station/car wash on my way to work. The car wash is pretty good but the tap to pay at the pumps isn’t working and hasn’t been for weeks. I tried 5 or more different pumps. I’ve had my credit card skimmed at pumps before so I won’t insert it anymore. *update* they responded quickly and fixed the pumps.”

“Air pump costs $2.50 to use and accepts credit card or quarters. Happy that Speedway's air pump worked since I stopped at two other gas stations where their air pumps weren't operational. My low tire pressure gauge is happy now.”

“I had previously rated this CVS pharmacy poorly. Recently, however, my doctor accidentally called in my prescription to this location. I was annoyed, because I never wanted it to use this pharmacy again. However, the pharmacist working at the time, Dr. Ky, completely exceeded my expectations. He was personable and engaging, and took time to help resolve a problem with my prescription. He also asked me about my vaccinations, and I ended up getting three overdue vaccinations before I left! If I go back to this location, it will just be because of Dr. Ky.”
