“This is the closest thing to the Alcohol,Tobacco,and Firearms being a convenience store I have ever seen! Definitely the only truckstop gunshop I have encountered. People are friendly and prices on firearms are not out of reason. Enough so that I bought a shotgun for my Kenworth. Will definitely stop on my next run through!”

“Love this Tesla charging stop. Fewer stalls, keep this in mind. Also, a good stop for a longer charge - there is a big gift shop with a second level. The restrooms are big and clean too. There is also a grill in the back, it’s okay as far as gas station grills go.”

“Located right off of I-90, Town Pump is a clean, safe place to fuel up and take a break from the road. If you're hungry, try out the hot or cold food offerings in the deli. You can also try your luck in the on-site casino offering the latest games, a variety of free beverages and sandwiches for players and friendly employees.”

“6:30am Sunday morning and the place was quiet except for two folks who had somehow managed to misplace their cell phone and were unable to find it. Coffee and a restroom was the plan and both were achieved. The restroom was clean. The coffee station had cups and fresh coffee and creamers. And really, that's all I needed today. The parking lot was clear from litter, the convenience store was in good shape and the coffee was okay. A good stop just off I-90 heading east. [Review 17131 overall - 47 in Montana - 647 of 2022.]”
