“This was the second time in a year we’ve been through Merna and stopped here for gas and food. The folks there were super friendly. The hot food was actually quite tasty and there’s tables inside to sit and eat. Bathrooms were clean. What more do you need?”

“I Love this place! The Trotter organization clearly knows the needs of a community when they establish a store. They could fill the table space with product -- but the tables remain for the coffee groups and for those who order a meal and want to sit and eat before hitting the road again. On Saturday, February 22, I made my usual stop for gas, before my 105 mile trip my 105 mile trip home. I was 10 miles out before I realized my debit card was not in my pocket. I pulled over and called the station. Your employee, Darren answered, and after searching the counter, offered to go search around the pump and the windshield washing station. No luck. He was efficient in taking all my info, so he could contact me if anyone turned it in. I searched my car & my purse several times. And as embarassing as it is to admit it, I had put the card in the clip with the rest of my cards, in between two others. Such a creature of habit, that I didn't recall doing this. Relieved and embarasssed I called Darren again -- to tell him the good news. I know this is a lengthy review, but I want to publicly thank Darren for his great customer service and the Trotter organization for providing this valuable resource to the community and those of us who pass through on a regular basis!”

“I stopped here for coffee and got a small cup. I was down the road a ways and just about went back to get a larger cup. The coffee was fantastic. This store and the bathroom was the cleanest I have ever seen. I will definitely stop here again.”

“I love this gas station, it has everything from cheap prices to glthe best customer service I have ever had. An employee at this store just won an award for best customer service in the franchise and I'm happy for her but I feel like everyone in this store deserves that award because I have never ever had a bad experience here. If corporate is reading this then my visit on 3-29-25 at 2:15 pm the lady there was awesome and definitely deserves a raise. I forgot to get her name, I've not seen her before.”

“Overall, not a bad gas station to stop it. They have the normal Casey’s things a decent amount of snacks and drinks. The clerk was friendly. My issue was that the pepperoni pizza did not have a lot of pepperonis on it and it also didn’t have a lot of sauce and it was a little tasteless today. Normally I don’t mind Casey’s pizza, but for whatever reason today I was not overly impressed. However, with that being said, Lord knows I will continue to go to Casey’s and buy their pizza”
