“I just moved close by about 6 weeks ago and so I visit this station often. The employees are all so nice & friendly, the store is always clean and well stocked and the cigarette prices are I 'd have to say about the lowest prices I've seen anywhere. It's also convenient that they're open till 9pm 7 days a week. Great to have this business here.”

“We love JJ Junction! They are always so friendly. It’s so nice to have a clean smoke free stop too! Just this morning we had the most incredible service. Our little boy eats a banana every morning and we realized we were out. My husband ran to JJ to buy one but they were sold out today. The sweet lady behind the counter reached into her purse and gave my husband the banana out of her purse! That goes way beyond customer service which is how they are at JJ...they know how to bless their neighbors! They will always have our business!”
