“Gas station is under new management. Nice folks. Brought in more brands of snacks and drinks. I’ve noticed they don’t offer deals on energy drinks like before, but still offer a good selection. Public restroom available and is always cleaned.”
“This was 3rd or 4th time visiting here with my husband after we visited The Exchange. The remodeling was done, there was a new deli and some other restaurant put in on port side.I liked how there was an entire wall of freezers aft have microwaveable single serving meals. There was an entire aisle of protein powders, energy drinks, & healthier snacks. There was a lot of different food, snack, beer, wine, & hard liquor to choose from. There were two regular checkout lanes & 3-4 self checkout with a staff member to assist with cigarette purchases, etc. Line moved fast. Husband was irritated with cigarette prices, he paid $9.45 a pack for two Camel Crush Menthol smokes. He said that prices were higher than other bases like Eglin, Pensacola, and both Mobile Coast Guard Exchange shops. The gas was still cheap. Next to the Class 6 Shoppette was Popeye’s Chicken, Firestone Auto, a donut shop, and sometimes there are food trucks in the parking lot. Still a good store despite cigarette prices.”
“One of my coworkers told me that this place on Friday nights does j*** chicken island style and it's very authentic. One Friday I was in the area and decided to give it a try. I've had j*** chicken from several places and I must say this does bring back the great memories of my childhood. I keep going back every Friday and made it a tradition that no matter what, at 7pm I'm heading to that spot... I've brought along some friends that are chefs and they've told me that this is some very good chicken. Well enough said, if you're looking for something to do on a Friday, don't hesitate to stop by A&J minimart and have some j*** chicken and you can by beer inside and enjoy it by the grill... very laid back and great people... Also don't go too late because they will run out of chicken lol -big drip”
“Bekia so funny ? they're good people he teaches me his language I'll be moving in a few months but every time I come to Biloxi I'll be coming to see my dude ?”
“Corso is our go to because of Mr. Bernie! If you are doing business with Corso I would recommend trying to get Bernie on your route. He is personable, active, comes in gets his work done in a very timely manner and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is going smoothly. He is one heck of a worker and an even better person.”
“Visiting from Baton Rouge and went in and got a couple prerolls and I am pretty impressed! Louisiana sucks and we cant buy ANY thca or any thc products that are smokable. $5 for a 1g preroll....im definitely grabbing a few as soon as they open in 30 minutes. Back to Louisiana today where the dispensary charges 15-27 dollars for 1 damn preroll.”
“I absolutely love the staff here! They did a fantastic job on hiring! I hope they keep the pay competitive so the stay, and continue to be happy, productive employees that enjoy their jobs!”
“I have watched this store go from it's worst to the best I've ever seen it. The staff are very helpful. Ever since it's been under new management the parking lots aren't full of homeless people begging for change and the store is clean. I love going in this store. The manager always preorders my cigarettes.”
“Don’t understand the low ratings these guys have. I have had great service for the last couple years. THEY answer phone right away. Some things the can’t control. Unfortunately people like me who are completely satisfied don’t take the time to give them the 5 stars they deserve. People Who are pissed off get right to it .”
“You could always find this Shell station very busy as it sits across from two of the largest casinos in Biloxi. Prices at the pump normally are about the same as they are elsewhere in the immediate area. Inside you'll find the normal convenience store fair at comparable prices to other locations of the same type. Staff is always friendly and service is normally pretty quick except when they are packed. Not a lot of space to navigate around the gas pumps so you have to be careful in that regard watching for traffic coming from different directions. Not a lot of local traffic as it seems most that stop here are from out of town... Either coming or going from the casinos. If you search you can find cheaper prices, but you are paying for the convenience of it being right there if you're just cruising the coast or visiting the casinos along the beach. I would recommend this place if you need some place convenience and don't want to look around for better prices for gas.”
“I've read the reviews and wondered if this was the same store, the store I went in was one of the most pleasant places I've been to. I go out of my way to go to this store because of the service I receive. One worker was coming in and had her arms full but yet she waited on me to come in while she held the door open for me, and the cashier, Gloria, asked me right off how my day was and asked me to put my phone number in to receive extra discount, she had a friendly smile, and I had to go back in and ask her name because I never want to forget the kindness she expressed, I wish all places could be this way! Thank you Shell , the world needs places like this in our lives.”
“The store was clean. The employees was very friendly. They spoke when I entered then the manager come over & talk to me she was friendly to then she took my information then I left”
“Stopped Friday afternoon and store was busy yet it was clean, even the restroom! Pennie was friendly addressing each customer to let them know she appreciated their business.”
“04/02 at 11am. Lady with glasses, is a multitasking beast! While giving the best and friendliest customer service to everyone! She needs a raise for that kind of management! ??”
