“Best store in lake area lots of choices nd gas prices are normal . I luv chicken tender and crispitos . All over 5 star m recommending just specially for customer service.”
“They have egg rolls, burritos and pizza cooked in the warmers. Sometimes they have locally made Mexican desserts and tamales. There's gas, convenience items and a pretty stocked liquor area.”
“The facility offers ample parking, five diesel pumps for commercial vehicles, and ten gasoline pumps. Restrooms are maintained to a high standard of cleanliness. Propane and ice are available at competitive prices. This establishment is conveniently located adjacent to a casino, and we encourage all patrons to conduct themselves appropriately.”
“The friendliness of the employees here I'm guessing is determined by a roll of the dice, but the establishment itself is decent. They have some slot games and quarter pusher machines. They offer some hot foods, some tobacco(wink wink) consumption products, along with some seasonal things such as hats, Sunglasses, phone accessories for the car, and fountain drinks along with tea, coffee, and I'm pretty sure a slush drink as well. If you are wanting a Dr. Pepper, you will need to get a fountain or hope they have some 20 ozs. They only carry Coca Cola products as far as most their bottled beverages go. Other than them not always having my Dr. Pepper in a bottle for me, them being open 24 hrs a day makes for a great spot for me to suffice my 2am gummy worm craving. They have a wide selection of candy and even have some of the older types of candy you don't see a lot of places anymore these days and have bags of them(cherry sours, gummy varieties, lemon drops, smarties, etc) I believe you can get for $1.99 .”
